The Hot Quarks 2004 Workshop will take place on July 18-24, 2004 in Taos, NM. The main topic of the workshop is the physicsof strongly interacting nuclear matter at extreme energy densities.Quantum Chromo-Dynamics, the theory describing the forces acting within atomic nuclei, predicts that at sufficientlyhigh temperatures and/or densities, matter should undergo atransition from the standard hadronic phase to a plasma ofdeconfined quarks and gluons (Quark Gluon Plasma, QGP) - atransition which, according to our cosmological models,took place in the early universe about 10 microseconds after the BigBang.Already the programs at the Brookhaven National LaboratoryAlternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) and the CERN Super ProtonSynchrotron (SPS) have produced evidence for the onset of newphenomena. The research in this field is now successfullycontinuing at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNLwhile the next phase, to take place at the CERN Large HadronCollider (LHC), is under preparation. There are around 2000physicists worldwide working in the field: a very activeand lively, expanding community. In such a context, goodcommunication and networking, especially among the young andproductive members in the field, are vital.The aim of this particular workshop is to enhance the direct exchange of scientific information among the younger members of the community (graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty), both from the experiment and theory. Participation in the workshop will be by invitation only - in order to strengthen the emphasis on younger membersof the community, participation will be restricted to peoplewho have obtained their Ph.D. no earlier than 1989.This particular approach makes the workshop unique among the various workshops and conferences in the field. For young scientists it represents an opportunity for exchange and exposure that that they would not have in one of the major big conferences. It will help to stimulate the next generation of the field and strengthen their sense of community.

热夸克2004研讨会将于2004年7月18日至24日在新墨西哥州陶斯举行。研讨会的主要议题是极端能量密度下强相互作用核物质的物理学。量子色动学是描述原子核内部作用力的理论，它预测在极端高温和/或密度下，物质将经历从标准强子相到退禁闭夸克和胶子等离子体的转变（夸克胶子等离子体，QGP）-跃迁，根据我们的宇宙学模型，发生在宇宙大爆炸后10微秒的早期。布鲁克海文国家实验室的交替梯度同步加速器（AGS）和欧洲核子研究中心超级质子同步加速器（SPS）已经为新现象的出现提供了证据。这一领域的研究目前正在BNL的相对论重离子对撞机（RHIC）成功地继续进行，而下一阶段将在CERN大型强子对撞机（LHC）进行的研究正在筹备中。全世界大约有2000名物理学家在这个领域工作：一个非常活跃和活跃的，不断扩大的社区。在这样的背景下，良好的沟通和网络，特别是在该领域的年轻和富有成效的成员之间，是至关重要的。这个特别的研讨会的目的是加强社区的年轻成员（研究生，博士后和初级教师）之间的科学信息的直接交流，无论是从实验还是理论。参加研讨会将仅限于邀请-为了加强对社区年轻成员的重视，参与将仅限于获得博士学位的人。这种特殊的方法使讲习班在该领域的各种讲习班和会议中独树一帜。对于年轻的科学家来说，这是一个交流和接触的机会，这是他们在一个主要的大型会议上所没有的。这将有助于激励该领域的下一代，加强他们的社区意识。
