Talk title: Jets for 3D imaging
----------
Speaker : Prof. Zhongbo Kang (University of Califorlia, Los Angeles)

Abstract: At present day collider experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), energetic jets play an important role as precision probes of the Standard Model and beyond. In recent years, measurements at RHIC and LHC demonstrate that jets can be a useful probe for the QCD structure of the nucleon. In this talk, I review some recent excitement in utilizing jets for 3D imaging of the nucleon, which is one of the major pillars of the future Electron Ion Collider in US. I discuss how such new opportunities would complement the traditional processes such as semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan production, and e+e- collisions.

Self-introduction: Zhongbo is currently an assistant professor at Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Bhaumik Institute for Theoretical Physics at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also an associate member of Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS) of Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Before he joined UCLA in 2016, Zhongbo has worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, first as a Director's postdoctoral associate, a J. Robert Oppenheimer Fellow, and then a staff scientist. He has also worked at RIKEN BNL Research Center as a research associate. He has won an early CAREER award from National Science Foundation.
