Studies of hot and dense nuclear matter at the Large Hadron Collider — •Boleslaw Wyslouch — MIT, Cambridge, MA USA

Over the last few years the Large Hadron Collider spent several months colliding heavy nuclei and protons with heavy nuclei at relativistic energies. The extremely hot matter created in these collisions exhibits unusual properties. The high density plasma of quarks and gluons behaves like a strongly interacting liquid and it absorbs very energetic partons. We use large particle detectors and various experimental techniques to understand its properties. In this talk I will introduce the overall research program and present the latest results.
