Quarkyonic matter, from theory to experiment

This workshop provides an extended discussion on the QCD phase structure at high baryon density, from a cold dense matter to a quark-gluon plasma at high baryon density. In particular we plan to deal with topics related to "quarkyonic" matter, a matter intermediate between nuclear matter and quark matter at weak coupling. The researchers working on any of the following subjects are encouraged to participate: 1. On the nature of the hadron to quark matter phase transitions 2. Signatures for the 1st order chiral phase transition and the critical end point 3. Astrophysical implications for the QCD phase transition 4. Exotic phases, low energy and thermal excitation modes 5. Methods of computations for dense QCD matter, tests in QCD-like theories 6. Nuclear regime, nuclear forces in QCD Costs for coffee breaks and meals will be covered by the workshop organizers.
