The high baryon density matter produced in high-energy nuclear-nuclear collisions harbors rich physics, which is of great importance for exploring the phase structure of strong interactions, the evolution of the universe and compact stars, and understanding the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. With the upcoming completion of major heavy-ion facilities around the world, the field of high baryon density physics is becoming a frontier hotspot in international physics research. Against this background, it is particularly necessary and important to systematically analyze and summarize existing research progress, plan future development paths, cultivate and reserve talent teams for high baryon density physics research, and gather the wisdom of top scientists. Therefore, we have decided to launch a series of "Workshop on Physics at High Baryon Density" (planned to be held annually, in the form of seminars combined with more focused small-scale topical discussions), aiming to build a high-level academic exchange platform for researchers worldwide to jointly explore the challenges and opportunities of high baryon density physics. At the same time, we will work closely with domestic and international nuclear physics theory centers to lay a solid foundation for high baryon density physics research.
The first workshop on physics at high baryon density will be held at Central China Normal University from Nov. 1 to 4, 2024, Nov. 1st is the CBM day and the meeting time from the Nov. 2nd to the 4th. No registration fee will be charged. The talks are by invitation only.
