QuarkMatter 2022 - Krakow, Poland

What a way to jump more than 2 years and talk about -again- about QuarkMatter. The 2022 edition, or rather the one that was originally planned for 2021. This year the meeting was able to take a few of us out from Zoom to "IRL". It allowed us to bring together again over coffee breaks, lunches, dinners, and the occasional beer the science and friendships that had been insulated by screens and microphones.

Anyways, a few points about this year's conference. First of, Zaochen Ye's hard work over the past years paid of beautifully in an excellent presentation on the first thermal dilepton based temperature measurement using STAR Au+Au data from the 2018 run at 27GeV and the 2017 run at 54GeV.C5C343A2-F89E-4BA4-ADBD-30C27A9362E6_1_105_c
His results did not go unnoticed and reappeared in three more plenary overview presentations throughout the week. The 2022 QuarkMatter conference ended with a the invitation from the co-chairs of the 2023 QM meeting which will be held in ... Houston, TX! Yes, we look forward to seeing all our colleagues here in Houston in September 2023!
