Title: Coarse Graining Hadronic and Nuclear Interactions
Speaker: Enrique Ruiz Arriola, University of Granada
Abstract: Hadronic interactions are explained in terms of meson exchange at long distances, but require subnuclear degrees of freedom in many situations of interest. I discuss how with relatively simple Wilsonian ideas and scale analysis a competitive framework can be discussed to describe select and fit data above the inelastic threshold. We analyze specifically the pipi , piN and NN interactions up to several GeV's and its possible consequences in nuclear physics and short distance correlations in nuclear matter.
