Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will present selected papers from the 24th Zimányi School Winter Workshop on heavy ion physics (Zimányi 24, http://zimanyischool.kfki.hu/24/, 2‒6 December 2024). Zimányi 24 followed the rich traditions of the former Winter School, covering the recent progress in the field.
We would like to invite you to participate in this year's Zimányi School Winter Workshop, which aims to summarize the developments of 2024 in high energy heavy ion physics, with particular attention to the new data emerging from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). We will discuss results from other high-energy nuclear and particle physics facilities worldwide, most importantly lower energy colliders, exploring the nuclear phase diagram (emphasizing the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) searches). Another important point of the School is to discuss new results in hydrodynamics, flow, and femtoscopy. One of the school's main aims is to encourage interaction between the theoretical and experimental communities.
A list of the topics of the Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Effective Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory/model approaches;
- Elastic scattering and diffraction (experiment and theory);
- Femtoscopy (experiment and theory);
- Flow and hydrodynamics (experiment and theory);
- Gluon saturation and electron-ion collider (experiment and theory);
- Heavy flavor and quarkonia (experiment and theory);
- Intermediate energies (FAIR, J-PARC, nuclear physics);
- Jets and high-pT probes (experiment and theory);
- Magnetic field in heavy ion collisions (experiment and theory);
- Photons and dileptons (experiment and theory);
- QCD at non-zero temperature and density;
- Search for the QCD critical point (experiment and theory);
- Strongly coupled gauge theories (beyond Standard Model, Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory);
- Vorticity and polarization in heavy ion physics (experiment and theory).
Although this Special Issue collaborates with the 24th Zimányi School Winter Workshop on heavy ion physics (Zimányi 24), all relevant manuscripts, including research and review articles, are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Physics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
