NICA/JINR-FAIR Bilateral Workshop
"Matter at highest baryon densities in the laboratory and in space"

Aim of the Meeting

Topics to be covered are:

• Phases of QCD at high baryon densities,
• Effects signalling phase transitions,
• Observables in heavy-ion collisions and astrophysics,
• Simulations of ion collisions and supernovae,

presented by the leading experts in the field from JINR Dubna and German Institutes involved in the FAIR and NICA programmes.

Scientific basis for the discussions is provided by the NICA White Paper and by «The CBM Physics Book» (Springer 2011)
