Nominator's project description
| Edward Shuryak is one of the world-wide leading theoretical physicists working on the phenomenology of strong interactions. He made seminal contributions to the theory of the quark-gluon plasma, an important intermediate state in the development of the universe early (about 10 microseconds) after the big bang. Further fundamental publications focus on the understanding of the vacuum state of the strong interactions, and on the phenomenology of collisions among atomic nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies. During his stay in Germany he will work in particular on new ways to characterize and diagnose the quark-gluon plasma produced under different conditions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva and the FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt. |
