Welcome to the 23^rd International Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics (FB23), which will be held in Beijing, China, on September 22-27, 2024 (with Sept. 22 for registration). The conference is organized jointly by

★ Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

★ Tsinghua University

★ University of Chinese Academy of Sciences

★ Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

★ South China Normal University

and supported by Chinese Physics Society (CPS) and High Energy Physics Branch of CPS.

This is the 23rd edition in the conference series which began in 1959 in London and was most recently held in Caen (2018) and Chicago (2015). The FB23 was originally scheduled in 2021 which was postponed due to the pandemic.

Following the conference tradition, the FB23 will cover a broad range of topics - in both theory and experiment - with the aim of bringing together diverse communities to generate and share brilliant ideas in few-body physics. The subjects to be covered will include

1. Few-body aspects of atomic and molecular physics

Conveners: Xiao-Lin Cui, Ren Zhang, Matteo Zaccanti, Da-Jun Wang

2. Hadrons and related high-energy physics

Conveners: Zhen-Wei Yang, Feng-Kun Guo, Man-Qi Ruan, Marco Pappagallo, Allesandro Pilloni, Raul Briceno

3. Neutrinos and their interactions with matter

Conveners: Shao-Feng Ge, Yu-Feng Li, Costas Andreopoulos, Yoshinari Hayato

4. Strange and exotic matter, including hypernuclear physics

Conveners: Jin-Hui Chen, Jin-Niu Hu, Xian-Rong Zhou, Kouichi Hagino, Hans-Josef Schulze, Josef Pochodzalla

5. Few-nucleon systems, including QCD inspired approaches

Conveners: Li-Sheng Geng, Qian Wang, Jia-Jun Wu, Emiko Hiyama, Ross Young, Andreas Nogga

6. Few-body aspects of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics

Conveners: Bing-Wei Long, Chen Ji, Chang Xu, Hans-Werner Hammer, Toshitaka Kajino, Rituparna Kanungo

7. Interdisciplinary aspects of few-body physics and techniques

Conveners: Peng Zhang, Zhen-Hua Yu, Jesper Levinsen, Wen-Chao Xu

More than 20 invited plenary talks have been scheduled. All the topics mentioned above are covered. In addition to plenary and parallel sessions, a dedicated poster session will be organized.  Keynote speakers will be encouraged to make their talks accessible to the entire community.  All invited and contributed presentations, including posters, will be included in the conference proceedings.

Following the tradition the FB23 will cover a broad range of topics - in both theory and experiment - with the aim of bringing together diverse communities to generate and share brilliant ideas in few-body physics.

FB23 will also be the venue for the presentation of the Faddeev Medal, which has recently been established jointly by the European (ERCFBP) and American (GFB) few-body communities. The 2024 edition of the award will include a formal announcement of the winner of the medal and a presentation by the winner at a dedicated session.

As the conference is supported in part by the IUPAP, FB23 will be conducted in accordance with IUPAP principles. No bona fide scientists will be excluded from participation on the grounds of national origin, nationality, or political considerations unrelated to sciences.

The venue will be located at Wanda Realm Beijing which is 2.6km west to the institute of high energy physics. More conference information and registration can be found via:
