Cédric Lorcé: summer lecture series

The Center for Nuclear Femtography (CNF) is hosting an in-person lecture series to be delivered this summer on July 13-17 at Jefferson Lab by Cédric Lorcé. The lecture series is titled Hadron structure with generalized parton distributions. Cédric Lorcé is a professor at École Polytechnique in Paris, France, and is a notorious for his exceptional talks and lectures, in addition to being a renowned expert in hadron imaging, generalized parton distributions, and the energy-momentum tensor.
