Description:
Recently there has been growing interest in the role that magnetic fields play in hadron dynamics. Scenarios where such effects may be important include peripheral heavy ion collisions and compact astrophysical objects such as neutron stars where intense fields can be produced. One of the driving motivations of the growing international community working in this area is understanding the structure of the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Some examples of the questions this community would like to answer are: Is there a splitting in the critical line that separates the normal hadronic phase from the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) phase in the presence of a magnetic field? How is the critical endpoint affected by magnetic fields? Which are the relevant phenomenological signals where magnetic corrections can be observed?

This workshop will address these kinds of questions using different approaches to the subject, allowing a fluent exchange of opinions and perspectives.
