MIT Physics Lecture Series:h Creating the Hottest Matter in the Universe with the Large Hadron Collider
Professor Bolek Wyslouch
Tue Jan 31, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Each year, for about four weeks at a time, the Large Hadron Collider is configured to collide heavy nuclei. The extremely hot matter created in these collisions exhibits unusual properties. The high density plasma of quarks and gluons behaves like a strongly interacting liquid and it absorbs fast moving partons. We use large particle detectors and clever experimental techniques to understand its properties. In this talk I will introduce the overall research program and present the latest results.
