Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions (URHIC)
Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP), Theory programme
updated 14.1.2008
Research
We focus on
-
the phenomenology of URHIC by making calculations for various
observables measurable in the experiments at the CERN-SPS,
BNL-RHIC and CERN-LHC/ALICE.
-
properties of the QCD matter through first-principles calculations
Our research interests are described in more detail
here .
More information on the general goals and motivation of ultrarelativistic
heavy ion physics can be found here.
