Heavy-Ion Collision and Quark-Gluon Plasma

My primary interest is to explore physics of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This plasma is predicted by quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD) to be created in massive nucleus collisions at RHIC/BNL and LHC/CERN. My area of concern is to investigate the possible signatures of Quark-Gluon Plasma such as formation of QGP droplets,Quark-Hadron phase transition, EOS and electromagnetic probes (photon and dilepton) etc. In heavy ion collisions experiments at RHIC (BNL) and LHC (CERN), the detection of QGP is almost impossible. So there are many possible signatures for its formation and evolution. I realized that transition from Hadrons to QGP is a reality. To study this novel state of matter, I used a simple theoretical model in order to compute the order of phase transition, QGP droplet, electromagnetic production. My job as a theorist is to help theoreticians and experimentalists to determine fundamental properties of the quark-gluon plasma.
