Selected Papers from “Theory of Hadronic Matter under Extreme Conditions”

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce that Particles and the organizers of the conference "The II International Workshop on Theory of Hadronic Matter under Extreme Conditions" will collaborate to produce a Special Issue volume, for extended versions of selected papers from this conference (https://indico.jinr.ru/event/834/overview).

In its nature, theoretical investigations in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions have a multidisciplinary character involving physics at various energy scales. They ask not only for a resolution of the number of fundamental problems but also phenomenological studies directly connected with experiments. The progress in this field relies on a coherent implementation of a wide range of methods of quantum chromodynamics, relativistic nuclear physics, kinetic theory, hydrodynamics and physics of critical phenomena in finite short-lived systems. The construction of the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA), based on superconducting rings for performing experiments with heavy-ion beams in the collider as well as the fixed target mode sets up an auspicious environment for enhancement of theoretical physics activities at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) related to relativistic heavy ion physics.

As the Guest Editors, we would like to invite you to submit your unpublished and original research relevant to this topic for publication in this special volume of Particles. All submissions will be peer reviewed by internationally recognized experts. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for submissions from the conference will be free of charge.

Prof. Dr. David Blaschke
Dr. Victor Braguta

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Particles is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
