Agenda
HGS-HIRe Lecture Weeks are crossdisciplinary training events that cover experimental, theoretical and technical aspects of a particular research field together.
This lecture week is dedicated to the research field of hot & dense nuclear matter. It is presented by the CRC-TR 211 "Strong-Interaction Matter under Extreme Conditions"
in cooperation with HGS-HIRe and focusses on critical phenomena in the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In addition to a general introduction to the relevant
critical phenomena, both, functional renormalization group (FRG) and Lattice QCD methods to study these phenomena will be introduced and trained with hands-on excercises
suitable for doctoral researchers with interest in the theory of hot and dense matter. This lecture week addresses topics of particular relevance to doctoral researchers
within the CRC-TR 211 who will be given priority for participation. Nevertheless, available additional slots vacant are open to all participants of HGS-HIRe interested in
this field of research.
A preliminary agenda and schedule is provided in the pdf file below. An update, if needed, will be announced in due time.
