Synopsis:

The goal of this subject is to introduce students the principles of physics of heavy-ion collisions at large energies.

Students will gain insight into phases of a nuclear collision, properties of the created matter (quark-gluon plasma (QGP)), probes which contain information about the QGP and other phases of the collision, and knowledge that these signals brought to us based on the recent measurements at present experiments.

Requirements:

Knowledge of basic course of physics and subatomic physics

Syllabus of lectures:

1. General introduction to heavy-ion collisions

2. Mechanisms of particle production

3. Physics of light and heavy quarks

4. Jet quenching

5. Jets

6. Flow

7. Correlations, fluctuations

8. Electro-magnetic probes

9. Small collision systems

Syllabus of tutorials:

Practical lessons are concentrated on more detailed studies and presentation of related papers.

Study Objective:

Knowledge:

Fundamentals of hot and dense nuclear matter, models of quark-gluon plasma

Abilities:

Orientation in problems of heavy ion collisions

Study materials:
