Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have carried out our photon and jet physics with the photon spectrometer, PHOS, and the di-jet calorimeter, DCAL, in the ALICE experiment at CERN-LHC, to reveal nature of hot and dense quark matter created in heavy-ion collisions at the highest energy of RUN-2. We have investigated that the matter has been heated up to 3.4 trillion degree Celsius, which is far beyond the Hagedorn limit of hadronic matter, in Pb+Pb central collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.8 TeV/A. We have also studied the di-jet production and elliptic flow features, comparing with pp and p+Pb data and with hydro-dynamical model predictions. The models explain the features in general, however, we are looking at quite interesting new phenomena, which could be originated from its initial stage of collisions. Our challenge probing the initial stage with photons is underway.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高温クォーク多体系の探求は非摂動的量子色力学(QCD)の振る舞いを理解するに留まらず、極低温に冷却した原子/分子のボーズ凝縮状態、超伝導/超流動量子臨界相転移現象、あるいは極低温原子の光学格子生成や量子もつれといった最先端科学との関連性を映しだす。自発的に対称性の破れた量子場という自然科学の核心的概念がこれらを結び付ける。この深遠な相互関係の理解を目指し、理論研究者と最新解析結果について相互理解を深めながら普遍的な拡がりをもった新たな学術領域「強く相互作用する量子多体系」の開拓に挑戦する。
