Quark Matter 2023

Sep 3, 2023, 8:00 AM → Sep 9, 2023, 1:25 PM US/Central

Hilton of the Americas, 1600 Lamar, Houston, Texas, 77010, USA

Claudia Ratti, Frank Geurts (Rice University (US)), Ralf Rapp, Rene Bellwied (University of Houston (US))

The early registration deadline and student support deadlines have been extended to 25 June 2023.

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:

• Light and strange flavor physics
• Heavy flavor physics
• Electromagnetic Probes
• Chirality
• Jets
• Initial state of particle collisions
• Small systems
• Collective Dynamics
• QCD at finite density and temperature
• Critical point searches
• New theoretical developments
• Nuclear astrophysics
• Physics of the Future Electron Ion Collider and the RHIC Spin program
• Physics of ultra-peripheral collisions
• Future facilities/detectors
