The 13^th Biennial Conference on Classical and Quantum Relativistic Dynamics of Particles and Fields

6 - 9 June 2020  ♦  Czech Technical University in Prague

The International Association for Relativistic Dynamics (IARD) hosted its 13^th biennial meeting at Czech Technical University in Prague.

Conference sessions took place on the CTU campus.

IARD 2022 marks the association's 24^th year of activity since its founding at the 1998 meeting.

Twelve previous meetings were held in Houston, Texas, Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel, Howard University in Washington DC, Saas Fee, Switzerland, the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT, Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Hualien, Taiwan, Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics (GGI) in Florence, Italy, again at UConn, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. IARD 2020 was a significant success as an early virtual (online only) conference.

The goal of these meetings is to bring together researchers from diverse fields whose interests involve relativistic dynamics, both classical and quantum. The conference program aims to present recent developments in the abstract theoretical aspects of general approaches in quantum field theory, conformal field theories and string theories, manifestly covariant approaches to classical mechanics, quantum theory, and statistical mechanics, general relativity, classical and quantum gravity, and explore application in such areas as high energy electron spectroscopy, quark-gluon plasma generation in heavy ion collisions, general high energy scattering and particle decay, cosmology, gravitational waves, and relativistic quantum information.

The Proceedings of IARD 2020 appear in Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Volume 1956.
