- Péter Tarján
Name of the Institute:
University of Nyíregyháza, Institute of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences
Research objectives:
The objective of the research is to investigate the properties of high density , high temperature nuclear matter and quark-gluon plasma.
Description and results of research:
One of the design aims behind the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider was to create a machine which can accelerate heavy ions to energies that would enable us to create the Quark-Gluon Plasma. The detectors built on RHIC (including the PHENIX detector) are built to measure and identify as many types of processes as possible, exploring several possible signatures of the QGP. Early results from this research are summarized in the 2005 paper “Formation of dense partonic matter in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC: Experimental evaluation by the PHENIX collaboration”. Further research has been geared towards the detailed examination of the various properties of of this new state of matter.
