XVIII International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM 2019)

This book focuses on new experimental and theoretical advances concerning the role of strange and heavy-flavour quarks in high-energy heavy-ion collisions and in astrophysical phenomena.  The topics covered include  •Strangeness and heavy-quark production in nuclear collisions and hadronic interactions,  •Hadron resonances in the strongly-coupled partonic and hadronic medium,  •Bulk matter phenomena associated with strange and heavy quarks,  •QCD phase structure,  •Collectivity in small systems,  •Strangeness in astrophysics, •Open questions and new developments.
