The Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona is set to host the 10th International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics from July 8 to 12, 2024. This conference builds upon a series of successful meetings held in locations such as Adelaide, Julich, Bloomington, Madrid, Beijing, Palaiseau, Valparaiso, Tsukuba, and Tallahassee.

10th International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics

The event will bring together experimentalists and theorists to delve into recent advancements in the realms of hadron and nuclear physics. Participants will engage in discussions that extend from previous dialogues, presenting fresh insights and findings related to the quark and gluon structure of hadrons, hadron spectroscopy and decays, hadron interactions and nuclear structure, as well as investigations into both hot and cold dense matter.

During this comprehensive gathering, experts and researchers from around the globe will explore the intricate developments in the field of quarks and nuclear physics. The conference serves as a vital platform for fostering collaboration and sharing groundbreaking discoveries. Attendees will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, theories, and experimental results, contributing to the continuous advancement of our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter.

Conference Scope on Quarks and Nuclear Physics

The program is designed to cover a wide spectrum of topics, including but not limited to the quark and gluon structures of hadrons, unraveling mysteries related to hadron spectroscopy and decays, probing the intricacies of hadron interactions and nuclear structures, and delving into the properties of both hot and cold dense matter. This diverse range of subjects ensures that the conference remains at the forefront of cutting-edge research, reflecting the dynamic nature of quarks and nuclear physics.
