Conference Description
The international conference on ``Strangeness in Quark Matter'' will focus on the physics of strange quarks in matter and heavy flavour (c,b) production in nuclei, including their role in characterizing hot hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma formation. In addition to recent theoretical work, new results from experiments at the GSI, AGS, SPS, and RHIC will be presented. The future heavy-ion programme at the LHC will also be discussed. This is a well-established conference bringing together scientists working in the fields of cosmology, particle and nuclear physics.
It will take place at the Graduate School of Business on the Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town is the prime tourist attraction in Southern Africa. Arrival date is Tuesday, 14 September 2004 and departure date, Monday, 20 September 2004.
Previous conferences have been held in North Carolina (2003), Frankfurt (2001), Berkeley (2000), Padova (1998), Santorini (1997), Budapest (1996), Tucson (1995), Crete (1994), Aarhus (1991).
Young researchers (Ph.D. students and postdocs) are especially encouraged to attend the conference, and assistance will be available to help support their participation in the meeting.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics
