This workshop is dedicated to recent experimental and theoretical progress in quarkonium physics at the Large Hadron Collider. Quarkonium states, such as charmonium and bottomonium, provide essential probes of Quantum Chromodynamics, heavy-quark production, hadronization, and the properties of strongly interacting matter.

The workshop will bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss quarkonium production and modification in proton–proton, proton–nucleus, and heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. 

Special attention will also be given to the Statistical Hadronization Model, pioneered by Peter Braun-Munzinger and collaborators, and its role in describing quarkonium and heavy-flavor production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The discussion will highlight how this approach connects quarkonium production to charm-quark thermalization, hadronization at the QCD phase boundary, and the formation of the quark–gluon plasma.


Speakers are by invitation only. Conference registration is now open, we warmly welcome participants to register and join the discussion.
