The possibility of colliding heavy nuclei with high luminosity at the Large Hadron Collider,expected to start operating in 2007 at CERN, offers a unique opportunity to investigate the behaviour of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions of compression and heating. This will allow unprecedented tests of our understanding of equilibration processes and equilibrium states in Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of strong interactions. In particular, equilibrium QCD ...The possibility of colliding heavy nuclei with high luminosity at the Large Hadron Collider,expected to start operating in 2007 at CERN, offers a unique opportunity to investigate the behaviour of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions of compression and heating. This will allow unprecedented tests of our understanding of equilibration processes and equilibrium states in Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of strong interactions. In particular, equilibrium QCD predicts that a phase transition to a plasma of deconfined partons, (the Quark–Gluon Plasma, or QGP), occurs at a critical energy density which is within experimental reach. Measurements at the LHC will probe extensively the properties of the bulk partonic matter produced in nucleus–nucleus collisions. The ALICE experiment—presently under construction is the only LHC experiment designed specifically for the study of nucleus–nucleus collisions. » weiterlesen» einklappen
