PREFACE Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems

This special issue compiles papers presented at the International Conference on Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS) held in July 2022. Organized by The Center for Advanced Systems Understanding at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, this conference brought together researchers from diverse disciplines to explore plasma-liquid and condensed-matter systems dominated by strong Coulomb interactions. The conference series, initiated in 1977, has evolved to encompass a wide range of topics in theory, simulation, and experiment, including astrophysical plasmas, dense hydrogen, laser-generated plasmas, and more. This fifteenth edition also featured discussions on the intersection of Coulombic systems with machine-learning methods. These proceedings present a comprehensive overview of research in Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems and offer insights into this dynamic field.
