Description
CERN Council has launched an Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics to which written scientific input can be provided till 31 March 2025. As for the previous Strategy Updates in 2012 and 2018, this one-day Town Meeting will aim at formulating a consensus view of the entire scientific community with research focus on ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Following the charge of this Strategy Update, the meeting will focus on the scientific opportunities with ion beams at the HL-LHC and at CERN fixed-target experiments. The meeting will review the state of the art of the field, including concrete plans for the full exploitation of the scientific opportunities of HL-LHC as well as the main theoretical efforts and future initiatives accompanying it.
