Initial Stages 2027

The 9th Initial Stages 2027 conferenced is organized by the Centre of Excellence in Quark Matter at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. This conference will bring together experts to discuss the latest experimental results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The program will cover recent advancements in theoretical tools aimed at predicting and interpreting phenomena observed in experiments and plans for future experimental facilities, including the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). Key topics of focus will include: Partonic structure of protons and nuclei Physics at low-x and gluon saturation T
