The Quark-Gluon Plasma existed in the early Universe. It can also be created and studied in laboratories by colliding heavy nuclei. This has led to many interesting discoveries about matter under extreme conditions. The beginning of the RHIC II program and the LHC heavy ion program will lead the exploration of the Quark-Gluon Plasma into a new era of unprecedented precision and energy. This award will help to advance the current description of the Quark-Gluon Plasma dynamics on several fronts with a recently developed radiative transport model. This includes the study of higher order processes in both gluon dynamics and flavor dynamics. The research will provide a more consistent picture of the Quark-Gluon plasma evolution and lead to better understanding of thermalization, viscosity, collective flow, and energy loss. It will help build the foundations of next generation transport models. Undergraduate research assistants will participate in the research activity. They will learn physics at the forefront of current research and computer skills essential for scientific explorations. This will help them get ready for science and technology related jobs or graduate studies. In addition, we plan to outreach to local high schools, to convey the excitement of scientific discovery to a younger generation.

早期宇宙中存在夸克 - 格鲁隆等离子体。 它也可以通过碰撞重核在实验室中创建和研究。 这导致了许多关于物质在极端条件下的有趣发现。 RHIC II计划和LHC重型ION计划的开头将使对夸克 - 格鲁隆等离子体的探索成为一个前所未有的精度和能量的新时代。 该奖项将有助于通过最近开发的辐射运输模型在几个方面推进夸克 - 格洛隆等离子体动力学的当前描述。 这包括研究Gluon动力学和风味动力学中高阶过程的研究。 这项研究将为夸克 - 杜伦等离子体演变提供更一致的图片，并可以更好地理解热化，粘度，集体流量和能量损失。 它将有助于建立下一代运输模型的基础。 本科研究助理将参加研究活动。 他们将在当前的研究和计算机技能的最前沿学习对于科学探索所必需的计算机技能。 这将有助于他们为科学和技术相关的工作或研究生学习做好准备。 此外，我们计划向当地高中推广，将科学发现的兴奋传达给年轻一代。
