Title:
THE UNBEARABLE BURDEN OF BEING LIGHT: Exploring the emergence of 
ordinary matter from quarks and gluons

http://www.indico.kfki.hu/event/844

Abstract:


In our everyday world, quarks and gluons, forever hide inside protons 
and neutrons.
While their fundamental properties are encoded in the theory of quantum 
chromodynamics
(QCD), many phenomenological aspects of QCD dynamics remain poorly 
understood.
When gluons are massless and the quarks carry only a small fraction of 
the mass of
a nucleon, how do nucleons acquire their large mass? How does nuclear 
matter emerge
from the hot quark-gluon plasma that permeated the universe shortly 
after the Big Bang?
What are the limits of ordinary nuclear matter at high density, e.g. in 
the interior of neutron
stars or neutron star mergers? My talk will explain where our 
investigation of these questions
stands, aided by experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and 
elsewhere, and how
future facilities, such as an Electron-Ion Collider can help us finding 
the answers.

Your attendance is welcome,

in the name of the Organizers


       Tamás Biró.
