Dear colleagues,
this is the first announcement of the XVIth Conference on Strong and Electroweak Matter 2024, to be held from 26-30 August 2024 at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The focus of the conference is the theory of the Standard Model and beyond at finite temperature and density, in and out of equilibrium, as well as applications to relativistic heavy-ion collisions, astrophysics and cosmology. The scientific program will be structured into the following topical sessions:
-QCD in extreme conditions and dense nuclear matter
-Heavy-ion collisions and the quark gluon plasma
-Quantum fields in and out of equilibrium and thermalisation
-Baryogenesis and leptogenesis
-Electroweak phase transition beyond the Standard Model
-Early universe physics and sources for gravitational waves
-Quantum field dynamics and inflation
-Compact stars
The conference will be held on the Riedberg Science Campus of Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main. The program will consist of a number of invited and contributed talks, as well as a poster session, and will be designed in collaboration with the International Advisory Committee:
Gert Aarts (Swansea)
Peter Arnold (Virginia)
Jürgen Berges (Heidelberg)
Jacopo Ghiglieri (Nantes)
