Theoretical Nuclear Physics

这项工作在理论核物理学将研究 强子在热致密物质中的性质，正如人们所期望的那样， 发生在高能重离子碰撞中。 的性质 物质中的介子将使用密度依赖的 质量和耦合常数。 相对论输运 理论也将被推广到包括密度 其他强子的依赖性。 这项工作的长期目标是 是理解相对论重离子的动力学 未来的RHIC中将会产生的碰撞 寻找夸克胶子等离子体的设施。

This work in theoretical nuclear physics will study the properties of hadrons in hot dense matter as it is expected to occur in high energy heavy-ion collisions. The properties of mesons in matter will be studied using density dependent masses and coupling constants. The relativistic transport theory will also be generalized to include the density dependence of other hadrons. The long range goal of this work is to understand the dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions such as will be produced in the future RHIC facility in search of the quark-gluon plasma.
