Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Particle physics investigations in heavy ion collisions offer extensive opportunities for diverse research programs involving various experimental setups and international collaborations. These efforts significantly contribute to advancing our understanding of fundamental physics and the development of experimental and theoretical tools.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to gather the latest results and ideas from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Topics of interest include the properties of quark–gluon plasma, (anti)nuclei formation, hadron resonance properties, partonic interactions, physics beyond QCD, the development of new detectors and technologies, and advancements in theoretical models.
We invite submissions that highlight recent progress and innovative approaches in these areas, aiming to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration within the scientific community. By showcasing cutting-edge research and encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue seeks to advance the field of particle physics and support the growth of novel methodologies and theoretical insights.
Contributions from researchers worldwide are welcome, as the collaboration and exchange of ideas on an international scale are crucial for the continued development of this dynamic field. We look forward to your participation and to the collective advancement of our understanding of the fundamental forces and particles that govern the universe.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marcello Abbrescia
Dr. Giuseppe Mandaglio

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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
