DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aleksas Mazeliauskas (Institut für Theoretische Phy
 sik\, Universität Heidelberg)\, Andrea Dubla (GSI Helmholtzzentrum für S
 chwerionenforschung GmbH(GSI))\, Federica Capellino (GSI Helmholtzzentrum 
 für Schwerionenforschung GmbH(GSI))\, Giuliano Giacalone (CERN)\, Wilke v
 an der Schee (CERN)\, Alexander Tichai (Technische Universitaet Darmstadt)
 \, Reyes Alemany Fernandez (CERN)\n\n\n \nRecent light-ion collision camp
 aigns — proton-oxygen\, oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon runs at the LHC\
 , and oxygen–oxygen collisions at RHIC — have opened a transformative 
 window onto the origins of collective behavior in small QCD systems\, and 
 in the study of the system-size dependence of the quark-gluon plasma. Simu
 ltaneously\, high-energy collisions offer a novel probe of nuclear ground-
 state structure\, with implications potentially extending from nuclear str
 ucture\, to nuclear astrophysics\, to searches for neutrinoless double bet
 a decay.\n \nDriven by these research frontiers\, the 2026 EMMI Workshop
  on Light-Ion Collisions serves as a dedicated forum to synthesize the eme
 rging experimental results\, clarify their implications for the field\, an
 d discuss scientific cases for ion runs in LHC Run 4 and beyond.\n \nScie
 ntific program:\n \n\n\nOut-of-equilibrium QCD phenomena and onset of col
 lectivity in nuclear collisions\nOnset of jet quenching in small and inter
 mediate systems\nCollectivity of heavy flavors across system sizes and sha
 pes\nInterdisciplinary connections (nuclear structure\, nuclear astrophysi
 cs\, neutrinoless double-beta decay\, cold atoms)\nProspects and opportuni
 ties for future ion runs at LHC Run 4 and beyond\n\n\n \nThe workshop wil
 l start on Monday morning (September 21st) and end on Friday after lunch (
 September 25th). A workshop fee of 150 EUR will be charged to participants
 . This fee covers coffee breaks\, lunches\, the welcome reception\, and th
 e conference dinner. Financial support will be available for a limited num
 ber of early-career researchers.\n\nhttps://indico.gsi.de/event/25022/
