From microscopic interactions to the dynamics of the little big bang

Prof. Dr. Carsten Greiner, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Frankfurt

A few microseconds after the Big Bang the entire Universe was in a state of high temperature and density, the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).

Today nuclear and particle physicists try by using modern heavy-ion colliders to recreate this state of primordial matter and to investigate the properties of the QGP Incorporating the dynamic nature of the quark-gluon plasma into models is crucial to the theoretical interpretation of experimental results from heavy ion collisions at RHIC (at Brookhaven National Laboratory) and LHC (at CERN). One possible transport framework is based on perturbative QCD matrix elements and describes the partonic stage of such heavy ion collisions. The Monte Carlo approach allows for the investigation of various observables and assumptions within one single framework. It uniquely features the consistent inclusion of partonic radiation and annihilation processes.
