Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

But if the collisions do form a QGP, the kicked-free quark or gluon, despite its energy, gets caught up in interactions with the quarks and gluons that make up the plasma. "Those interactions lead ...

One area that scientists use the LHC to study is the quark-gluon plasma. The quark-gluon plasma is an unimaginably hot, soupy ...

The formation and experimental detection of such a state (called the quark-gluon plasma or QGP) is the primary objective of high-energy nuclear physics. Dennis Perepelitsa: I study the properties of ...

Although the Navier-Stokes equations are the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, adopting them to quantum systems has so far ...

Together, they are finding common ground, where string theory can be applied to the physics of quark–gluon plasma. High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons ...

But the details of the quark and gluon contributions have remained elusive. Now, a new investigation from an international collaboration of physicists compiles evidence from observational results ...

Also part of the programme are 'heavy ion' collisions — using the LHC to collide lead ions instead of protons, in the hope of creating quark–gluon plasma — for which a dedicated detector ...
