Scientific Program
The Initial Stages 2025 scientific program features multiple plenary sessions, two parallel sessions for oral presentations, and a dedicated poster session. This conference will bring together experts to discuss the latest experimental findings from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The program will also cover recent advancements in theoretical frameworks for predicting and interpreting experimental phenomena, as well as plans for future facilities such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
Key Topics:
- Partonic structure of protons and nuclei
- Physics at low-x and gluon saturation
- Initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisions
- Collective dynamics from small to large systems
- New theoretical techniques for both strong and weak coupling
- Next-generation facilities for deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and hadronic experiments
