 d.  Please see the "Invited Speakers" tab on the menu.\nUnderstanding the
  origin of mass in QCD is one of the central goals of modern nuclear physi
 cs. Importantly\, most of the mass of visible matter does not come from th
 e Higgs mechanism or from the small masses of the up and down quarks. Inst
 ead\, it emerges dynamically from QCD through quark-gluon interactions\, c
 onfinement\, and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking.\nThere is no single
  experimental technique that directly "measures the origin of mass." Rathe
 r\, several complementary approaches probe different aspects of the proble
 m. The goal of this workshop is to bring people involved in different appr
 oaches together and try to understand the complementarity of different tec
 hniques.\nToday\, the most promising experimental routes to understanding 
 the origin of QCD mass include\, though not limited to:\n\n\nThreshold J/
 ψJ/ψ production → direct probe of gluonic mass generation and the trac
 e anomaly.\n\n\nExclusive electron scattering (DVCS\, vector mesons) → a
 ccess to energy-momentum tensor form factors\, pressure\, and mass distrib
 utions.\n\n\nPrecision DIS at the EIC → determine how quarks and gluons 
 generate the proton's mass\, momentum\, and structure.\n\n\nHadron spectro
 scopy → reveal how confinement generates hadron masses.\n\n\nHeavy-ion c
 ollisions → study what happens when the mechanisms responsible for mass 
 generation are switched off.\n\n\n \nTogether\, these approaches attack t
 he same fundamental question from different angles: how mass emerges from 
 nearly massless quarks and massless gluons through the dynamics of QCD.\nB
 ased on this big picture\, we host a 4 day workshop. There should be time 
 for discussion after each talk and then a recap or a broader discussion at
  end of the day.\nThe registration deadline is Friday\, September 18\, 202
 6.\nThis workshop is supported by WPI-SKCM2\, Hiroshima University\,  Qua
 rk-Nuclear Science Institute (QNSI)\, the University of Tokyo\, and by KAK
 ENHI International Leading Research "Origins of Matter Explored through Fe
 mtoscale Quantum Many-Body Systems - Nurturing Talent in the Quantum Era".
