32. Neutron stars: The journey from birth to death.

Prof. Jirina Stone (Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, US)

13/09/2021 09:30

Lecture

Neutron star observations, including those from Chandra, XMM-Newton, LIGO and NICER missions, continue to provide a unique insight into the role that neutron stars (NS) play in stellar evolution and the nature of dense matter in the NS core. After being born in a core-collapse supernova explosion, the NS first minutes (as a "proto-neutron star) are critical. It is during this brief time the NS...

9. NN short-ranged correlations: From Theory to Experiment in 65 Years

Prof. Gerald Miller (University of Washington)

13/09/2021 14:00

Lecture

The physics of short-ranged correlations is reviewed from a pedagogical standpoint that is aimed to provide background sufficient for students to do research in the field. The lectures discuss:

1) how the earliest efforts allowed physicists to understand the qualitative features of nuclear binding and saturation.

2) the technical improvements, including relativistic effects

3)...

141. The Color Glass Condensate: Big picture questions, interdisciplinary connections and some recent developments

Prof. Raju Venugopalan (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

15/09/2021 14:00

Lecture

At very high energies, the multitude of gluons and sea quark fields that fundamentally make up the structure of hadrons, organize themselves on very short time and distance scales, as a form of strongly correlated matter called the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). Though intrinsically quantum in nature, it behaves as a classical lump and many of its features can be explored using semi-classical...
