PhD School on QCD in Extreme Conditions 2025

30 Jun 2025, 08:00 → 1 Jul 2025, 20:00 Europe/Warsaw

Jan Rzewuski Lecture Hall (Faculty of Physics and Astronomy)

The 2025 XQCD PhD school is an accompanying event to the 21^st International Conference on QCD in Extreme Conditions (XQCD 2025).

The school will take place from June 30 to July 1, 2025, at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Wrocław, Poland.

The school will feature four block lectures 2 x 90 min, given by internationally recognized theoretical physicists, covering cutting-edge research topics centred on recent advances in the theory and phenomenology of QCD under extreme conditions, providing an in-depth review of these fields for PhD students before the XQCD conference.

This year's edition will cover the following topics:

• Lattice QCD by Prof. Jana Günther (Wuppertal University)
• Critical point, fluctuations and correlations by Prof. Masakiyo Kitazawa (Osaka University)
• S-matrix approach and dense hadronic systems by Prof. Pok Man Lo (University of Wrocław)
• Dense QCD, neutron stars and nuclear astrophysics by Prof. Eduardo Fraga (Rio de Janeiro Federal University)
