The 1st ALICE Experiment and Heavy-Ion Physics School will be hosted by Fudan University in Shanghai, China. The school will take place from November 3rd to 9th 2025 at No.1 Interdisciplinary Research Building Jiangwan Campus, Fudan University (复旦大学江湾校区一号交叉学科楼). Please note that November 2nd is reserved for registration and welcome reception.
Are you curious about the physics of the early universe, the nature of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, and how modern experiments recreate the hottest and densest state of matter ever achieved in the laboratory?
The school introduces students to the exciting field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, where nuclei are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and smashed together to create the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) — a state of matter that existed microseconds after the Big Bang.
The school will focus on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
The school is designed for motivated undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in particle physics, nuclear physics, or computational science. Prior coursework in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics is helpful but not strictly required.
Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will:
Join us to discover how the smallest building blocks of nature behave in the most extreme environments — and to become part of an international research community at the frontier of modern physics.
