U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science: Aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics at High Density

9982164该奖项资助了俄勒冈大学尤金分校的许世贤博士和韩国釜山大学的洪东凯教授之间为期两年的合作研究项目。拟议的研究旨在合作研究与极高密度核物质有关的理论问题。这一研究领域与中子星物理以及重离子对撞机的实验计划有关，如RHIC(布鲁克海文国家实验室)和LHC(欧洲核子研究中心)。他们的专长是将重整化群、有效场论和Schwinger-Dyson方程等理论工具应用于量子色动力学(QCD)问题。主要的兴趣之一是夸克物质中的色超导现象，它在某些方面与金属中的普通超导相似。这个项目将在美韩合作科学计划下与韩国釜山大学的洪教授合作进行。该项目与美韩合作科学计划的目标相关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息、想法、技能和技术以及通过在互利问题上的合作来提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。韩国的参与得到了韩国科学与工程基金会(KOSEF)的支持。

9982164HsuThis award supports a 2-year collaborative research project between Dr. Stephen Hsu, University of Oregon, Eugene, and Professor D. K. Hong, Pusan University, Korea. The proposed research aims to collaborate in the study of theoretical issues related to nuclear matter at extremely high density. This area of research is relevant to neutron star physics as well as the experimental program at heavy ion colliders such as RHIC (Brookhaven National Lab) and LHC (CERN). Their expertise is in the application of theoretical tools such as the renormalization group, effective field theory and Schwinger-Dyson equations to problems in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). One of the primary interests is the phenomenon of color superconductivity in quark matter, which is similar in some aspects to ordinary superconductivity in metals.This project will be performed in conjunction with Professor Hong at Pusan University, Korea under the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program, which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF).
