Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
Overview Talk
Deconfined matter is produced in the laboratory at highest energy densities in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. A selection of recent results from ALICE will be presented, spanning observables from the soft sector (bulk particle production and correlations) to hard probes (charmed hadrons and jets).

Fundamental Interactions
Overview Talk
Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) can be confined and manipulated in traps and are an excellent probe to study fundamental symmetries and interactions. Storage lifetimes of several hundred seconds enable high-precision experiments with impact on astrophysics and cosmology, complementary to high-energy physics. Although longstanding, the search for a non-vanishing electric dipole moment of the neutron...

Hadron Physics
Overview Talk
Chiral model calculations, assuming a partial restoration of chiral symmetry in a nuclear medium, predict modifications of meson properties within nuclei. An overview will be given on current experiments studying in-medium properties of mesons and the meson-nucleus interaction to extract meson-nucleus potentials. The real part of the meson nucleus potential describes whether the interaction is...

Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Overview Talk
The Pierre Auger Observatory, located on a vast, high plain in western Argentina, is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. The objectives of the Observatory are to probe the origin and characteristics of cosmic rays with energies above $10^{17}$ eV and to study the interactions of these most energetic particles observed in nature. The Observatory design features an array of 1660...
