Nominator's project description
| Professor Venugopalan is a leading physicist and expert in theoretical studies of a state of matter that existed in the early universe, in which the fundamental constituents of ordinary matter were free and formed a plasma of quarks and gluons. His most famous work deals with how this state can be recreated in high energy collider experiments. During his stay in Germany, he will collaborate with theoretical and experimental colleagues on the strong field dynamics and the approach to an equilibrium quark-gluon plasma. |
