Description

The purpose of this workshop is to have focused discussions on high baryon density physics including collectivity, correlations and criticality etc. Latest experimental measurements from facilities around the world including RHIC, LHC, SPS, SIS18 etc and theoretical advances will be discussed at the workshop.

This workshop is a satellite meeting for the SQM2026 will take place during March 22-27, 2026 at UCLA.
