Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter
Pleanary
It is now conventional wisdom that collisions between two nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies precipitate to a new state of matter, usually referred to as Quark Gluon Plasma. What have we learned from experiments carried out at RHIC and LHC, for the thermometric signals in particular? What insight can we have for the very early universe, microsecond after the Big Bang, do we have any...

Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter

At extreme energy densities, hadronic matter undergoes a phase transition into a deconfined system of quarks and gluons, known as a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Such a state of matter may be formed by colliding ultra-relativistic heavy-ions together, which reproduce the high temperatures and densities thought to have existed about ten microseconds after the Big Bang. Lead ions have been...
