The 23rd Low x Meeting will take place in Sandomierz, Poland, September 1-5, 2015.

This meeting is a part of a series organized since 1993. The spirit of these meetings is to favour fruitful and informal discussions between experimentalists and theorists. A considerable part of time is devoted to discussions on new results, hot topics and exciting open problems in QCD at colliders.

We invite submissions of talks related to the following subjects:

 DIS at small x and structure functions of the proton, photon and pomeron,  LHC results on QCD and diffraction,  Problem of saturation,  Diffractive events and the problem of pomeron,  Exclusive production,  Diffraction in lepton and hadron induced reactions,  Hadronic final states,  Vector meson production,  Prospects in photon-photon physics,  Heavy Ion Physics (QGP, saturation...),  Astroparticle physics,  Spin physics at low x,  Other hot topics (open to suggestions).

Venue:

The meeting will take place in Sandomierz in Hotel Sarmata (http://www.hotelsarmata.pl). Sandomierz is one of the oldest Polish cities. It is located on the Cambrian hills on the bank about 150 km east of Kraków and 100 km north-west of Rzeszów. The first settlements can be traced down to Neolithic Era. In Sandomierz gained importance and eventually became one of the three sedes regni principales. In XIIIth century after the Tatars invasions a vivid colonisation of the Sandomierz surroundings took place. Later, the city was rebuilt in style and the magnificent Old City is preserved till nowadays. Its elevated Market Square with small coffee shops and restaurants is a picturesque spot.

Sandomierz surroundings deliver opportunity for a close contact with nature. Pepper Mountains with their landscape, wild flora and geological preserve are of particular beauty.
