Topical conference on Strangeness and Heavy-Flavour production in Heavy-Ion Collisions

The International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM 2017) will focus on new experimental and theoretical developments on the role of strange and heavy-flavour quarks in high energy heavy ion collisions and in astrophysical phenomena.

SQM 2017 will be the 17th edition of the conference series following the recent events in Berkeley (2016), Dubna (2015), Birmingham (2013) and Cracow (2011).

The scientific topics are

  • Strangeness and heavy quark production in nuclear collisions and hadronic interactions
  • Hadron resonances in the sQGP
  • Bulk matter phenomena associated with strange and heavy quarks
  • Strangeness in astrophysics
  • Open questions and new developments

Venue
The conference will take place in the Victor J. Koningsberger building that is located in the Science Park of Utrecht University. The venue is connected by frequent bus services to Utrecht city centre.
