The 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.
