Dear all,
We are pleased to announce that the “ExHIC-d workshop on QCD and hadronic dense matter (ExHIC-d 2025)” will take place at the Uni Hotel Jeju, South Korea, from November 15 to 17, 2025.

[Overview]
The ExHIC (Exotics from Heavy Ion Collisions) workshop focuses on exotic phenomena in heavy-ion collisions. It is dedicated to bringing together experts from both within and outside the field to exchange ideas and methods for resolving the current tension between theory and experiment, and to discuss future developments. The workshop was initiated at the APCTP focus program on “Hadron Physics at RHIC” in 2007. The first ExHIC workshop was held at YITP in 2011, marking the formation of the collaboration. The workshop series continued with an extension of topics on polarization phenomena and related issues in heavy-ion collisions at ExHIC-p in 2019 at YITP. This workshop, "ExHIC-d", will focus on QCD and hadronic dense matter, which is one of the most intriguing topics in nuclear physics. Several novel topics, including the understanding of nuclear matter properties under extreme conditions, the phase diagram of nuclear matter, and the evolution of neutron stars, will be discussed.
[Abstract submission]
The abstract submission is open. Please note that the workshop program will primarily consist of invited talks; therefore, the number of contributed talks will be limited.

*Abstract submission deadline is August 31st, 2025.

[For participants of Baryons 2025]
The venue of ExHIC-d is located on the upper side of Jeju Island, and it takes approximately 1.5 hours to reach by public transportation (bus) from the ICC Jeju. For participants of Baryons 2025, we will provide further details on how to proceed to the workshop venue.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Jeju!
