CSQCD IX

Compact Stars in the QCD phase diagram
From RHIC to Astrophysics; probing the quark-gluon plasma

CSQCD has brought together, for over 20 years, QCD physicists (working on phases of quark matter) and astrophysicists working on compact stars. Over the last two decades, the two communities learned from each other and collaborated on novel theoretical and experimental avenues to explore the QCD phase diagram. The Banff meeting will focus on recent explorations of the quark-gluon phase using colliders (e.g. RHIC and LHC) and on the renewed interest on neutron and quark matter in astrophysics, particularly in the gravitational wave era.

The proceedings have now been published in the 'Journal of Physics: Conference Series' (IOP Publishing)!
