Research Abstract |
Structures of protons and neutrons, which compose atomic nuclei, and their interactions are described by Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD), where the elementary degrees of freedom are quarks and gluons. Recently the ultra-relativistic nuclear collider enables us to explore properties of the extremely high-temperature and -density matter of quarks and gluons, as an international experiment collaboration in this field. In our theory research project we aim at investigating aspects of the QCD matter in time-dependent phenomena. First, we show the phase structure of the chiral random matrix model with three quark flavors. Then, we study the dynamic critical properties of the QCD matter and the gluon field evolution in the early stage of nuclear collisions.
