Quark Matter 2025

Quark Matter 2025 is the XXXI International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions, which will be held in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. 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. The scientific program will cover the following topics:

  • Chirality
  • Collective dynamics & small systems
  • Correlations & fluctuations
  • Detectors & future experiments
  • Electromagnetic probes
  • Heavy flavor & quarkonia
  • Initial state of hadronic and electron-ion collisions
  • Jets
  • Light and strange flavor physics & nuclei
  • New theoretical developments
  • Physics of ultraperipheral collisions
  • QCD matter in astrophysics
  • QCD phase diagram & critical point

Quark Matter 2025 consists of six days of scientific program, starting on Sunday, April 6th and ending on Saturday, September 12th. Support of early-career researchers (students and young postdocs) will be provided in the form of a reduction of the registration fee.

The deadline for early-bird registration is December 31st, 2024. For regular registration, it is January 31st, 2025.
