In this invited contribution I briefly review some of the principal topics in hadron spectroscopy that were studied at the CERN low-energy antiproton facility LEAR, from its beginnings in the early 1980s to the present. These topics include…
One of the frontier research areas common to both nuclear and particle physics is the study of hadron structure and the strong interaction. In this contribution we will discuss a plan for a polarized electron-ion collider in China (EicC)…
This report is based on a ten-week program on "Gluons and the quark sea at high-energies", which took place at the Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle in Fall 2010. The principal aim of the program was to develop and sharpen the science…
The motivation for PF calorimetry is to experimentally measure the energy of hadron jets with excellent resolution. In particle flow designs, sigma(E)/E < 5% should be possible for a range of jet energies from 50 GeV to 250 GeV, important…

A high luminosity upgrade of HERA will allow the measurement of standard model parameters and the neutral current couplings of quarks. These results will have to be consistent with other precision measurements or indicate traces of new…
The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed future particle-physics project colliding 60 GeV electrons from a six-pass recirculating energy-recovery Linac (ERL) with 7 TeV protons stored in the LHC. The ERL technology allows for…
