This summer school will take place from June 9th to June 15th at the IJCLab in Orsay, close to the city of Paris (France). The school welcomes all PhD students and young postdocs in the fields of QCD, hadron and/or heavy-ion physics, both experimentalists and theorists. The scientific program of this school will provide the participants with the tools to navigate from the multidimensional structure of the nucleon (quantum chromodynamics, modifications in nuclei and parton saturation) to the properties and influence of the hot and dense QCD medium created in heavy-ion collisions (HIC). The formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), its thermodynamic properties and the phase transition to hadronic matter will be discussed. The origin and observation of collective effects will also be discussed. Attention will be paid to the interplay between theory, phenomenology and experiment, and interdisciplinary links to nuclear structure physics.
Internationally recognized researchers will give introductory lectures on hydrodynamics, nucleon and nuclear structure, probes of the QGP such as jets and heavy flavors both from theory and experiment, the simulation of HIC via event generators, the modification of hadrons in the medium and the initial state of a HIC.
The deadline for application is April 30th 2024.

One of our researchers (Carlota Andres) was invited to deliver lectures on jet quenching.
