QCD at FAIR: Strong QCD Across Communities — •Johan Messchendorp1 and Frank Nerling1,2 — 1GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany — 2Institut für Kernphysik, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany
Hadron physics lies at the intersection of several communities, linking QCD theory and effective approaches to emergent phenomena in hadrons and nuclei, the behavior of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, and the macroscopic properties of compact stars. In this plenary talk, we will highlight the synergy and added value of a coherent mid- and long-term hadron-physics agenda at GSI/FAIR (“QCD at FAIR”) as a common language, leveraging shared facilities across fields – from precision studies of hadron-hadron interactions and hadron spectroscopy to in-medium modifications and electromagnetic transition form factors – thereby connecting hadron and nuclear structure, heavy-ion physics, and astro(particle) physics. We outline a staged roadmap from SIS18 to SIS100 and, ultimately, high-intensity antiproton beams at HESR, and discuss the resulting impact on ‘strong QCD’.
