Założenia (opisowo): | (tylko po angielsku) Good acquaintance with special theory of relativity, classical electrodynamics, and statistical physics. The lecture is targeted at the second-cycle students but an elementary level of the presentation makes it useful as well for the first-cycle students. The information presented in the lecture will be also useful for the PhD students who work in the related fields. |

Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) This lecture (with classes) is the 1st part of the cycle "Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions", organized in cooperation with the Jagiellonian University ( UJ's USOS page: ) https://www.usosweb.uj.edu.pl/kontroler.php?_action=katalog2/przedmioty/pokazGrupyZajec&zaj_cyk_id=492526 The remaining subjects are: - Computer Tools for Nuclear Physics 1 (Winter semester, 1100-CTNP1 , 30h) - Computer Tools for Nuclear Physics 2 (Summer semester, 1100-CTNP2 , 30h) - Experimental Methods in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (Summer semester, 1100-EMNC, 15h) ___________________________________________________________ Winter semester: Theoretical concepts The main aim of this lecture is to give an introduction to main ideas used in the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The links between basic theoretical concepts (discussed gradually from the elementary to more advanced level) and the results of experiments are outlined, so that experimentalists may learn more about the foundations of the models used by them to fit and interpret the data, while theoreticians may learn more about how different theoretical ideas are used in practical applications. The available information is used to establish a uniform picture of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The properties of hot and dense matter implied by this picture are discussed comprehensively. In particular, the issues concerning the formation of a quark-gluon plasma in present and future heavy-ion experiments are addressed. The presentation is based on the book "Phenomenology of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions", which has now become a popular textbook for the presentation of this topic worldwide. Table of contents: 1. Introduction (high-energy nuclear collisions, present and future experiments, theoretical methods used for their theoretical description, relation to other fields of experimental and theoretical physics) 2. Basic information on quantum chromodynamics, quark-gluon plasma, and chiral symmetry 3. Basic definitions and simple geometric concepts (relativistic kinematic variables, participants, spectators, reaction plane, etc.) 4. Collective flows 5. Glauber model 6. Space-time picture of heavy-ion collisions 7. Quarks and gluons in strongly interacting systems 8. Hadron gas (relativistic virial expansion) 9. Relativistic kinetic theory 10. Relativistic perfect fluid 11. Relativistic viscous hydrodynamics 12. AdS/CFT correspondence 13. Thermal models of freeze-out 14. Particle interferometry (HBT correlations) 15. Electromagnetic signals from hot and dense matter |
