Phase Diagram of Strongly-Interacting Matter and Physics of Heavy Quarks
This special issue belongs to the section "High Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics".
Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The organizers of the XXXII International Workshop on High Energy Physics "Hot problems of Strong Interactions” https://indico.ihep.su/event/563/overview and Universe are going to produce a Special Issue.
The XXXII International Workshop on High Energy Physics "Hot problems of Strong Interactions” was devoted to recent developments and long standing problems of phase diagrams of strongly-interacting matter as well as of the physics of heavy quarks. A large range of topics have been discussed such as new findings in heavy-quark spectroscopy, doubly heavy baryons, tetraquarks, pentaquarks, heavy quarkonia, quarkonia production in heavy-ion collisions, etc. The main topic, phase diagrams of strongly-interacting matter, included the discussion of the phase structure of QCD at high temperature and baryon density, and the influence upon them of various conditions such as chiral and isospin densities, strong magnetic fields and vorticity, etc. QCD phase diagrams in the context of astrophysics, heavy-ion collisions and the early universe have been overviewed.
The Guest Editors of the Special Issue are happy to invite you to submit your paper for publication in this Special Issue of Universe.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
