Quark Matter 2023

Quark Matter 2023 is the 30th International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions. This conference brings together theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world to discuss new developments in high-energy heavy ion physics. The focus of the discussions is on the fundamental understanding of strongly-interacting matter at extreme conditions, as formed in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as on emergent QCD phenomena in high-multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions.

Quark Matter 2023 consists of five and a half days of scientific program, starting on Monday, September 4th in the morning and ending on Saturday, September 9th. A Students’ Day precedes the conference on Sunday, September 3rd. The conference will take place in Houston, Texas (USA) at the Hilton of the Americas Hotel. The main organizational institutions are the University of Houston, Rice University, and Texas A&M University.

The deadline for registration is August 31, 2023.

2023 JETSCAPE online school

The JETSCAPE online school will be held from July 17, 2023 to July 28, 2023. The school will be held online on zoom so that it is accessible to participants from around the globe. The school will meet for several hours each day from 9AM-noon US Eastern Time, which is suitable for the majority of participants.

The school is aimed at graduate students and postdocs, in both theory and experiment. The focus will be on the implementation of jet quenching and hydrodynamic calculations in the JETSCAPE event generator framework, and its application to experimental data analysis. Emphasis will also be placed on the rigorous comparison between simulations and experimental data using Bayesian methods. The school will consist of lectures on theoretical and experimental aspects of relativistic hydrodynamics and jet quenching, together with extensive hands-on practical sessions working with the JETSCAPE code and Bayesian analysis methods.

Attendance at the school is by application, and the number of attendees will be limited. Please forward this message to students and postdocs in your group who may not have received this.

The registration for the school is now open. The deadline for registration is July 10, 2023.
