High-energy nuclear collisions and the quark-gluon plasma: past, present and future

Giovedì 8 febbraio 2024, con inizio alle ore 10:00, presso l'Aula F del DFA e online a questo link, il Dr. Federico Antinori (INFN Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo High-energy nuclear collisions and the quark-gluon plasma: past, present and future.

Modera la Dott.ssa Marika Rasà (Dottoranda in Fisica, 37° ciclo).

Il seminario appartiene al ciclo degli Highlights in Frontier Physics, nell'ambito delle attività del Dottorato di ricerca in Fisica.

Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare.

Abstract. I shall review the development of the physics of partonic matter, from the early theoretical developments in the 70’s, through the main discoveries at the SPS and at RHIC, to the recent LHC breakthroughs. Thanks to the experience and understanding accumulated over more than three decades and to decisive recent instrumental progress, today we are entering a new era of systematic investigation of the emergent properties of the condensed matter of QCD. I will outline some of the main perspectives for the near- and medium-term future.
