Abstract:Light takes just 3 yoctoseconds to traverse a proton-an ephemeral instant that nonetheless suffices to form alocally) thermalized QCD medium from the initially out-of-equilibrium system right after a lead-leadcollision at the LHIC. Over the past two decades,...

Lee Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong UniversityTime:  June 2, 2026,Tuesday,10:30 amLocation: Room 9409  Abstract:The Big Bang energy was preserved inside the protons and neutrons (nucleons) through the confinement mechanism of strong interactions in the process of expansion and cooling of the Universe, becoming the sources for stellar evolution and solar energy. Unders...

Speaker: Dr.Lorenzo Bartolini, TU WienTime: June 1, 2026, Monday, 14:30Location: Room 9409Abstract:The equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter is one of the open problems in physics, receiving lot of attention recently because of the observational window on compact astrophysical objects openedoy gravitational waves detection. Effective field theories are reliable up to slightly above sa...

Speaker: Da Yu Tou, Tsinghua UniversityTime: Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 15:40Location: Room 9557Abstract:The LHCb experiment provides an ideal environment for the spectroscopy of heavyhadrons. This is evidenced by the 72 new hadrons discovered at the experiment to date,including the world's first observation of pentaquark states. These states exist withinhe non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromo...
