Quark Matter 2023 is the XXXth International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions, which will be held in Houston, Texas, USA. This conference brings together theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world to discuss new developments in high-energy heavy-ion physics. The focus of the discussions is on the fundamental understanding of strongly-interacting matter at extreme conditions, as formed in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as on emergent QCD phenomena in high-multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions.
The scientific program will cover the following topics:
- Chirality
- Collective Dynamics
- Critical point searches
- Electromagnetic Probes
- Future facilities/detectors
- Heavy flavor physics
- Initial state of particle collisions
- Jets
- Light and strange flavor physics
- New theoretical developments
- Nuclear astrophysics
- Physics of the Future Electron Ion Collider and the RHIC Spin program
- Physics of ultra-peripheral collisions
- QCD at finite density and temperature
- Small systems
