WELCOME!
The 2016 edition of Excited QCD will take place from 6 to 12 March 2016, 2nd week of March, in the Costa da Caparica, located in the municipality of Almada, 20km far from centre of Lisbon, in Portugal. The place is perfect for those who love the ocean, waves, sand, good weather and good food. The hotel Ever Caparica in Costa da Caparica, Portugal will host the meeting.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This edition is the eight in a series of workshops that had been previously organised in Poland, Slovakia, France , Portugal and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the year 2016 the workshop goes to the beautifull Costa da Caparica, near Lisbon, Portugal.
The workshop covers diverse aspects of QCD:
(i) QCD at low energies: excited hadrons, new resonances, glueballs, multiquarks.
(ii) QCD at high temperatures and large densities: heavy-ion collisions, jets, diffraction, hadronisation, quark-gluon plasma, holography, colour-glass condensate, compact stars, applications to astrophysics.
Emphasis is placed on new developments in theory as well as the current experimental status. Scientific atmosphere, various discussions about different topics in QCD, active participation of many young researchers and a nice environment have been the main characteristics of the previous editions and also represented the goals for the new edition. The talks are all plenary, 20' long separated by 10' for discussions and with a coffee break of 30' every three or four talks for more discussions. An extended lunch break allowed for longer discussions and for inspiring open-air activities.
