Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you about the upcoming YITP-RIKEN iTHEMS International Molecule-type Workshop, "Condensed Matter Physics of QCD 2024," which will be held at Kyoto University Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP) from March 11th to March 22nd, 2024, in a hybrid style. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together theorists working on QCD at finite temperature and density, with a particular focus on dense quark-nuclear matter relevant to neutron star physics. The workshop consists of a series of lectures, topic contributions, and a lot of free discussion time to develop possible future collaborations.
The invited lecturers are
- Mark G. Alford (Washington University in St. Louis)
- Gordon Baym (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign/RIKEN iTHEMS)
- Muneto Nitta (Keio University)
- Sanjay Reddy (University of Washington)
- Dam Thanh Son (The University of Chicago)
- Mikhail Stephanov (University of Illinois Chicago)
and the detailed schedule and topics will be announced in the following workshop page:
https://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~cond-mat-qcd-2024/home.html
Due to room capacity constraints and the emphasis on having dense discussions, we will be limiting the number of onsite participants. The organizers will select onsite participants (approximately 20 individuals) based on the registration information provided. However, there are no restrictions for online participation, and we welcome everyone interested in joining lectures and talks remotely. In the selection of onsite participants, priority will be given to those who can participate for more than one week. We will not accept contributed talks since the main focus of the workshop is to have intense discussions. To promote discussion, onsite participants may be asked to present topics of interest (~ 30 minutes) based on the registration information.
[Registration Deadlines]
- Onsite Registration Deadline: Until January 27th (Sat.) (Please note that there are several required fields during the application process.)
- Online Registration Deadline: Until March 6th (Wed.)
If you wish to participate, please register on our website at https://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~cond-mat-qcd-2024/home.html from the registration page. We will inform those who wish to participate onsite of the acceptance or rejection by January 31st (Wed.). We look forward to your active participation in the workshop.
