Welcome to Hot QCD Matter 2025
We are pleased to announce the Third Conference on Hot QCD Matter (Series 3), scheduled to be held at IIT Bhilai from September 4 to September 6, 2025. Building upon the success of its predecessors—Goa University in 2022, which led to the publication Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter: Current Status and Developments (IJMPE), and IIT Mandi in 2024, which culminated in the volume Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter 2024: Bulk Properties—this third edition seeks to advance the discourse further within the Indian scientific community.
Scientific Program and Key Themes
- Heavy-ion physics at high baryon density (CBM, NICA)
- Heavy-ion physics at high temperature (RHIC, LHC)
- Thermodynamics and transport in quark and hadronic matter
- Physics opportunities with the upcoming Electron‑Ion Collider (EIC, USA)
- Experimental probes of the Quark‑Gluon Plasma (QGP)
- Connections with astrophysics and compact star physics
- Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)
