These experiments and the theories that guide them emerged from our experiences at lower energy heavy ion reactions, as well as from the particle physics community. Since the first workshop in 1980, the series of Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics has had the explicit goal to provide a forum for graduate students and experts from different sub-fields of heavy ion physics to exchange ideas, leading to cross-fertilization and new insights.
