Thermalisation dynamics and infrared phenomena in heavy-ion collisions (A01)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273811115

The central goals of this project are the description of the thermalisation dynamics of quark-gluon matter and the identification of experimental low-momentum observables for hadron collisions in view of new detector developments. We will devise novel predictions of infrared and universal phenomena in strong-interaction physics. To achieve this, we consider far-from-equilibrium scaling associated to nonthermal attractors, and critical phenomena close to equilibrium, from a common perspective.
