The Zimányi School Winter Workshop, organized jointly by ELTE and the Wigner FK, will take place for the 21st time between 6 and 10 December 2021.

Our workshop, as usual, aims to summarize the developments of 2021 in high energy (mostly heavy ion) physics, with particular attention to the new data emerging from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). We will discuss results and plans from other high energy nuclear and particle physics facilities of the world, most importantly lower energy colliders, exploring the nuclear phase diagram (with special attention to FAIR, J-PARC and NICA). Another important point of the workshop is to discuss important new results in small systems, hydrodynamics, flow, jets, heavy flavor, femtoscopy and related topics. One of the main aims of the School is to encourage interaction between the theoretical and experimental community. A slightly overlapping list of topics of the School includes (in alphabetical order) is the following:

Effective QCD theory/model approaches Elastic scattering and diffraction (experiment+theory) Femtoscopy (experiment+theory) Flow and hydrodynamics (experiment+theory) Gluon saturation and electron-ion collider (experiment+theory) Heavy flavor and quarkonia (experiment+theory) Intermediate energies (FAIR, J-PARC, nuclear physics) Jets and high pT probes (experiment+theory) Magnetic field in heavy ion collisions (experiment+theory) Photons and dileptons (experiment+theory) QCD at non-zero temperature and density Search for the QCD critical point (experiment+theory) Strongly coupled gauge theories (beyond SM, AdS/CFT) Vorticity and polarization in heavy ion physics (experiment+theory) R. Vértesi, E. Frajna, L. Gyulai and Z. Varga participate in the organization from the Wigner Hadron Physics side.
