Proceedings of the Low-$x$ 2021 International Workshop

TL;DR

The Low-$x$ 2021 Workshop proceedings summarize recent experimental and theoretical advances in low-$x$ QCD physics, covering diffraction, parton saturation, and spin physics across various high-energy collision experiments.

Contribution

This edition compiles recent discussions and findings on low-$x$ phenomena, highlighting progress in understanding diffraction, saturation, and spin effects in high-energy physics.

Findings

Enhanced understanding of diffraction in ep and hadron collisions

Insights into parton saturation effects at low-$x$

Progress in spin physics and low-$x$ PDFs

Abstract

The purpose of the Low-$x$ Workshop series is to stimulate discussions between experimentalists and theorists in diffractive hadronic physics, QCD dynamics at low $x$, parton saturation, and exciting problems in QCD at HERA, Tevatron, LHC, RHIC, and the future EIC. The central topics of the workshop, summarized in the current Proceedings, were: Diffraction in ep and e-ion collisions (including EIC physics); Diffraction and photon-exchange in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions; Spin Physics; Low-$x$ PDFs, forward physics, and hadronic final states. This Workshop has been the XXVIII edition in the series of the workshop.
