This talk introduces the concept of glueballs, their significances, and their expected experimental signatures, followed by a brief review of the history and longstanding challenges of glueball searches. The main focus is on the discovery and investigation of X(2370) at BESIII, with particular emphasis ...

Abstract:Light takes just 3 yoctoseconds to traverse a proton-an ephemeral instant that nonetheless suffices to form alocally) thermalized QCD medium from the initially out-of-equilibrium system right after a lead-leadcollision at the LHIC. Over the past two decades,...

Speaker: Dr.Lorenzo Bartolini, TU WienTime: June 1, 2026, Monday, 14:30Location: Room 9409Abstract:The equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter is one of the open problems in physics, receiving lot of attention recently because of the observational window on compact astrophysical objects openedoy gravitational waves detection. Effective field theories are reliable up to slightly above sa...

Speaker: Da Yu Tou, Tsinghua UniversityTime: Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 15:40Location: Room 9557Abstract:The LHCb experiment provides an ideal environment for the spectroscopy of heavyhadrons. This is evidenced by the 72 new hadrons discovered at the experiment to date,including the world's first observation of pentaquark states. These states exist withinhe non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromo...
