Title:     When the universe was hot and sticky: Characterizing the quark-gluon plasma

Abstract: The phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD, the theory of the strong interaction) is only poorly known. There are currently vibrant experimental and theoretical programs that concentrate on the production, study, and characterization of the quark-gluon plasma: a fundamental state of matter that existed a few microseconds after the Big Bang. I will describe the theoretical aspects of this endeavour, and highlight some of the surprises uncovered along the way.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.

Please contact seminar at triumf.ca if you would like to meet with the speaker.
