Description

The CPOD 2024 workshop will be hosted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) from May 20 to 24, 2024 in LBL, Berkeley, California. The meeting will be in-person only.

The workshop will focus on the latest developments in understanding the QCD phase structure and properties of strongly interacting matter at high baryon density. Particular emphasis will be put on studies on critical phenomena associated with the second order phase transition.

Registration will be closed at 11:59pm PDT on May 12 (Sunday).
