Dear colleague,

The conference web site for the Workshop on Precision Radiative Corrections has 
been updated and a preliminary agenda can now be found here:

https://www.jlab.org/conferences/radiative2016/program.html

Please note that the early registration deadline has been extended to May 2.

Best regards,
Dave Gaskell and Harut Avakian (on behalf of the organizing committee)

*Precision Radiative Corrections for Next Generation Experiments*
May 16-19, 2016
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

A majority of approved physics experiments that will be running with 12-GeV 
electron beams at JLab require at least a per-cent accuracy in the measurements 
of differential cross sections and polarization asymmetries, making 
electromagnetic corrections crucial for interpretation of data.  Recent 
Jefferson Lab measurements of single-spin asymmetries from two-photon exchange 
(TPE) in DIS revealed the effect is at a per-cent level, making TPE a 
high-priority issue for SIDIS analysis of single-spin asymmetries, and will 
also be of concern for deep-exclusive processes. Extension and further 
development of the theoretical and computational approaches to higher-order QED 
effects for electron scattering is an outstanding problem for the upcoming 
physics analysis effort at JLab.

The workshop on "Precision Radiative Corrections for Next Generation 
Experiments" will address outstanding issues of QED radiative effects for 
several critical research areas including:

1. Studies of nucleon's Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) and
    Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs)
2. Measurements of the elastic form factors and resonance transition
    form factors of the nucleon
3. Effects of nuclear medium on the properties of hadrons
4. Search for physics beyond the Standard Model of electroweak interactions

Dedicated sessions will address items involving radiative corrections, 
including:

1. Structure Functions from models and phenomenology, needed as input
    for radiative correction calculations
2. Different MC programs using radiative effects
3. Integration of Radiative corrections into the extraction chain (in
    particular extraction of 3D PDFs from data)
4. TPE-induced electromagnetic effects and T-odd contributions

One  of the main goals of the  Workshop will be the development of a clear and 
specific plan for providing radiative corrections in the extraction of 3D PDFs, 
GPDs and form factors in nucleons and nuclei, thereby supporting the JLab12 
physics program as well as the development of a strong physics case for the 
Electron Ion Collider.
