Introduction to High Energy Heavy Ion collisions and the Quark Gluon Plasma

Instead of an Astrophysics seminar this week we will have the first lecture on Basics of High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions This lecture will cover the following topics: the QCD phase diagram lattice and perturbative techniques at finite temperature observables and experimental considerations Glauber model probes of the quark gluon plasma Pizza should be served at 11:15 Expected duration: 1 5 hours
