SCIENCE BRINGS NATIONS TOGETHER The 2nd China-Russia Joint Workshop on NICA Facility

10 Sept 2024, 08:40 → 13 Sept 2024, 18:00 Asia/Shanghai

Chi Yang (Shandong University), Yi Wang (Tsinghua University), Zebo Tang (University of Science and Technology of China)

The 2nd China-Russia Joint Workshop on NICA Facility will be held in China from September 10th-13th. The workshop consists of a three-day scientific program held at Qingdao (Sep.10th -12th) and a discussion session held at Beijing (Sep.13th). The first-day operation of NICA facility will start in year 2025. The joint workshop aims to bring together the experimental experts and theorists on NICA hardware/physics from both China and Russia, discussing the most recent progresses, plans and opportunities on NICA facility. 

The proposed topics will include but are not limited to:

1) Construction progress and operation plans of NICA

2) Proposed physics topics and analysis preparation of MPD experiment

3) Recent research progresses at high baryon density region

4) First results from BM@N experiment

5) Detector upgrades opportunities

The workshop is organized by China MPD consortium. We warmly invite you to join the workshop and are looking forward to seeing you in Qingdao and Beijing.

 

Local organization:

Sessions at Qingdao: Shandong University, Fudan University, Central China Normal University, University of Science and Technology of China.

Sessions at Beijing: Tsinghua University, Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
