"The hottest stuff on earth: how it's formed, what it's made of, and how it flows"


Dr. Raju Venugopalan
Brookhaven National Laboratory
and
Stony Brook University, USA

We discuss aspects of the physics of very high energy heavy ion collisions, which form the hottest and densest matter on earth.  This matter previously only existed micro-seconds after the big bang.  We attempt to provide a deeper look into how this matter is formed, what it's made up of, and its transport properties.  Our lecture will draw directly or indirectly on ideas in QCD, string holography, statistical mechanics, plasma physics, quantum chaos, Bose-Einstein Condensates and pre-heating in inflationary cosmology.



Presentation: OCNPS 200 @ 3:00 pm
