The 21st International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM 2024) will focus on new experimental and theoretical developments on the role of strange and heavy-flavour quarks in high energy heavy-ion collisions and in astrophysical phenomena.
Scientific topics include:
- Strangeness and heavy-quark production in nuclear collisions and hadronic interactions
- Hadron resonances in the sQGP (strongly-interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma)
- Bulk matter phenomena associated with strange and other heavy quarks
- Chirality, vorticity and spin polarisation phenomena
- Strangeness in astrophysics
- QCD phase structure
- Collectivity in small systems
- Open questions and new developments
