LIGHT-CONE 2016: Challenges for Theory and Experiment in Hadron and Nuclear Physics on the Light Front

Abstract

The LIGHT-CONE 2016 conference belongs to the series of Light-Cone meetings founded by the International Light Cone Advisory Committee (ILCAC), Inc. (http://www.ilcacinc.org). The 2016 conference, as the ones before it, followed the objectives defined by ILCAC, Inc., namely “to advance research in quantum field theory, in particularly light-cone quantization methods to the solution of physical problems”, and “to assist in the development of crucial experimental tests at hadron facilities”. The presentations and lively discussions focussed on the most recent advances obtained both within the light-front approach as well as with other relativistic frameworks that deal with non-perturbative QCD, such as Lattice QCD and Bethe-Salpeter/Dyson- Schwinger type functional methods.
