Continuous Advances in QCD 2004

May 13-16, 2004

Workshop participants will present their latest results and discuss new ideas in the most interesting areas of high-energy theory. The scope of subjects to be discussed include:

• perturbative and nonperturbative theoretical methods for studying the properties of strongly interacting particles;
• behavior of strong interactions under the extreme conditions of high temperature and/or density, which may exist in astrophysical objects and in nuclear collisions at high energy;
• physics of heavy quarks, presenting one of the major directions of today's experimental efforts;
• "exotic" strongly interacting particles, some of which have recently been observed in experiments;
• supersymmetry and new trends and methods in theoretical studies of quantum fields.

Participation is by invitation only. Interested parties should write to Arkady Vainshtein (qcd@physics.umn.edu).
