7th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement (CPOD)

7 Nov 2011, 08:30 → 11 Nov 2011, 20:00 Asia/Chongqing

Conference Hall (College of International Cultural Exchange, CCNU)

Daicui Zhou (CCNU), Marek Gazdzicki (CERN), Nu Xu (CCNU/BNL), Yuanfang Wu (CCNU)

This is the 7th workshop in a series that started 2004 with a workshop at the ECT* in Trento. Subsequent meetings were held at the University of Bergen in 2005, at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence in 2006, at the GSI/Darmstadt in 2007, at the BNL Brookhaven in 2009 and at the JINR Dubna in 2010. The purpose of the workshop series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and density. Particular emphasis is put on the physics at non-zero baryon number density that shall be probed in future low energy experiments at BNL, CERN, GSI, JINR and CSR.
