RUI: Practical Interpretations for Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

* 9814247 Haglin考虑到布鲁克海文国家实验室和欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）对核加速器设施的投资，特别是考虑到布鲁克海文相对论重离子对撞机即将投入使用的兴奋，在现在和未来的重离子实验中提供物理解释的理论支持是非常重要的。这一建议涉及对中高能核反应的各个方面进行理论研究的持续计划。拟议研究的具体重点是利用首席研究员在有限温度强子场论方面的专业知识来估计核碰撞中的粒子产生，其更大的目标是寻求识别和探索核物质对远离其正常状态的激发的集体响应的新的实用知识。分析和数值方法将在传输模拟和其他模型开发中结合起来，以推动理解的极限并填补强相互作用物理学知识的空白。 首席研究员的专长在于核介质内强相互作用粒子动力学的电磁探针，这是拟议研究的中心主题。

***9814247HaglinGiven the investments into nuclear accelerator facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, and especially given the excitement of the impending operation of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven, theoretical support offering interpretation of the physics in present and future heavy-ion experiments is quite important. This proposal concerns a continuing plan for theoretical examinations of various aspects of nuclear reactions at intermediate and high energies. Specific emphasis in the proposed research utilizes the Principal Investigator's expertise in finite temperature hadronic field theory to estimate particle production in nuclear collisions, with a larger goal of seeking to identify and explore new and practical knowledge of the collective response of nuclear matter to excitation far from its normal state. Analytical and numerical methods will be brought together in transport simulations and other model development to push back limits of understanding and fill gaps in knowledge of strong interaction physics. The Principal Investigator's specialty lies in electromagnetic probes of strongly interacting particle dynamics within the nuclear medium, which echoes as the central theme of the proposed research.***
