The International conference on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD2021 15-19 March 2021 zoom

CPOD2021 - the International conference on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement was held online during March 15 - March 19, 2021. The aim of the meeting was to discuss latest developments in understanding the phase structure of strongly interacting matter. Particular emphasis was put on studies of critical phenomena associated with the second order phase transitions.

Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD2017 7-11 August, 2017 The Wang Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University and Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration co-hosted this international event. The purpose of the CPOD conference series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and the properties of strongly interacting matter, particularly focusing on the physics at large baryon densities.

9th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD2014 17-21 November, 2014 ZiF (Center of Interdisciplinary Research), University of Bielefeld, Germany
The purpose of the conference series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and density. Particular emphasis is put on the physics at non-zero baryon number density.Main topics to be discussed at the Conference will include: Critical Point, Phase transitions in hot and dense matter, Deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration, Hadronization and chemical freeze-out, Compact Stars, Future facilities, detectors and methods.
8th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD 2013 March 11-15 2013 Napa, California, USA
The purpose of the CPOD workshop series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and density. Particular emphasis is put on the physics at non-zero baryon number density.
5th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD 2009 June 8-12, 2009 Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York, USA
This is the 5th workshop in a series that started 2004 with a workshop at the ECT* in Trento. Subsequent meetings were held at the University of Bergen in 2005, at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence in 2006 and the GSI/Darmstadt in 2007. The purpose of the workshop series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and density. Particular emphasis is put on the physics at non-zero baryon number density that shall be probed in future low energy experiments at BNL, CERN, GSI and JINR.
Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement - 4th International Workshop
CPOD07 July 9 - 13, 2007 Darmstadt, Germany

The following topics will be addressed:

  • Deconfinement phase transition and QCD critical endpoint
  • Equation-of-state of strongly interacting matter
  • Chiral symmetry restoration
  • Lattice QCD calculations and effective models
  • Correlations and fluctuations
  • Experimental results from SPS and RHIC
  • Future experiments
Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement
CPOD2006 July 3-6 2006 Florence, Italy

The 3rd edition of the conference Critical Point and the Onset of Deconfinement was held in Florence, at the Galileo Galilei Institute for theoretical physics from July 3rd to 6th 2006. The goal of the conference was to get together experimental and theoretical physicists active in the field to discuss most relevant theoretical and phenomenological issues in the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
