High-energy heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC offer unique insight into the many-body physics of QCD. I will give a broad introduction to the physics of Heavy-ion collisions and how they are modelled, before touching on an open problem in the field and the potential of the LHC's recent oxygen run.
Colliding heavy nuclei at a speed approaching that of light allows QCD matter to be investigated in the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) state that existed microseconds after the Big Bang. Numerous competing physics processes that influence the final detected particles require a vast amount of data and diverse measurements to unravel the properties of strongly interacting matter in this regime of high...
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a next-generation facility set to advance our understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) through precise studies of the internal structure of nucleons and nuclei.
This presentation highlights both the scientific potential of the EIC and the emerging contributions of African researchers within the EIC program. It aims to encourage deeper international...
