ATHIC 2025 will mainly focus on the following topics
-
1. QCD Phase Diagram, criticality and fluctuations
-
2. Initial State - pre-equilibrium dynamics, baryon stopping, intense electromagnetic field
-
3. Hard probes - jets and electromagnetic probes, heavy flavor, quarkonia
-
4. Collective dynamics - conserved charges, spin, vorticity, freezeout, afterburner
-
5. Baryon rich QCD matter, nuclear astrophysics
-
6. Collectivity in small systems
-
7. Physics opportunities at the Future Electron Ion Collider and the RHIC Spin program
-
8. New theoretical developments
-
9. Future experimental programs
