Investigations Of The Mini-Bangs In The Laboratory

2022-09-14 Prof. Subhasis Chattopadhyay, VECC Kolkata

ABSTRACT :

As per the Quantum chromodynamics, the theory of strong interaction, collisions of two heavy ions at ultra-relativistic energy are believed to create deconfined states of quarks and gluons. Such experiments are being performed worldwide over the last 3 decades most prominently at CERN-Geneva, BNL-USA and in the future facility at FAIR-Germany. Depending on the collision energy, the medium created in such collisions could be compared with the microsecond old universe or of the core of neutron-stars. Indian researchers are involved in building advanced detectors at CERN-Geneva and BNL-USA for investigating these collisions and to understand the mini-Bang in the laboratory. India is also a member country in an experimental collaboration in which neutron-star-like medium are to be produced. The motivation, experimental details and latest results will be presented.
