Quark-Gluon Plasma lecture.

Overview

 

Fr., 11:00-13:00 (no break in between)

zoom link via email.

 

In this lecture the basic concepts of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) physics will be discussed. The QGP is a hot and densce Quantum-Chromo Dynamic (QCD) medium, created in ultrarelativisic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
