Research Focus
• Understanding the formation and characteristics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
• Understanding the nature of hot dense nuclear matter formed in high-energy collisions
• Development of detection systems capable of simultaneous measurements and identification of many thousands of particles particles generated in heavy-ion collisions - the collisions also typically occur at the level of many thousands of times per second.
