This workshop is dedicated to advancing the development, application, and critical assessment of transport models in the study of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, particularly in the context of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC-BES and future experimental programs. Transport approaches play a vital role in describing the dynamical evolution of these collisions across a broad energy range, especially where nonequilibrium effects and complex microscopic interactions dominate.
The workshop will bring together a diverse community of theorists and experimentalists to exchange ideas on the current state of transport modeling, including hadronic and partonic transport, hybrid frameworks, and the treatment of rare probes and fluctuations. Through focused discussions and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to foster cross-model comparisons, highlight areas for improvement, and identify key observables and strategies that can guide future model development and experimental analyses. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the theoretical foundations and predictive power of transport models in support of current and next-generation heavy-ion collision programs.
