Scientific outline

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together a small group of researchers working on hadronic matter under extreme conditions, both at nonzero temperature and density, in the context of lattice QCD, effective models, the hadron resonance gas and holography. During the three-day meeting, we plan to have 4/5 talks a day, so that there will be ample time to discuss, formulate open questions and establish new insights. The workshop will be centred around the following question: What happens to hadrons at nonzero temperature and density? Specific interests will focus on baryons, hadron resonance gas and its extensions, parity doubling (both at finite T and finite mu), quarkonia, effective models vs lattice QCD vs holography, ...

Invited speakers
