HEFTY Collaboration Meeting

The HEFTY collaboration is a US DOE funded collaboration in Nuclear Theory (https://hefty.tamu.edu/). It aims to develop a comprehensive theory framework to study the spectral and transport properties of heavy quarks and quarkonia in strongly interacting matter, and implement these into quantum transport approaches that will be deployed to the analysis of heavy-flavor observables at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), providing unprecedented and quantitative insights into the microscopic properties of the QGP and its hadronization. Jefferson Lab is funded to investigate the production mechanism of heavy quarks and quarkonia which is very relevant for the science program at Jefferson Lab and the future EIC.
