Hi Katy, Helvi,

now our time to send an LOI around :) Can you also forward it to whoever might be interested in it?

Thank you very much, Tim

Dear all,

In response to the call for the submission of Letter of Intent (LOI) for Snowmass-2021, a few people from the extreme matter group and outside collaborators have also prepared an LOI on the topic ‘*/Compact binaries as probes of dense matter and QCDphase transitions/*’. The overleaf link to the document is here: https://www.overleaf.com/8743961373pphphrhxbgys https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.overleaf.com/8743961373pphphrhxbgys&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1598702036335000&usg=AFQjCNGklcbF6y1YTnqpXSZ54yfp4pEgVg and a (current) pdf-version is attached.

If you would like to support this LOI, please add your name, affiliation, and email address in the author list in alphabetical order at the end of the document, or send us an email. If you have any comments on the draft, please send it via email to someone listed at the top under "contact information", this is easier than directly changing something in the draft (please don't do this).

Best wishes, Jocelyn, Michael, Phil, Ingo, Nick, Reed, Tim
