"SPECIAL SEMINAR: Quark Gluon Plasma in Laboratory and in the Universe"

 

 

 

Matter surrounding us arose from the primordial phase of matter, Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). QGP was omni-present up to when the Universe was about 15 mus old, just the time it takes relativistic heavy ions to travel around the BNL-RHIC ring. In the context of the Hagedorn temperature half-centenary and seen his impact on the rise of hot-big-bang model,  I describe both, our understanding of the  hot phases of hadronic matter below and above the Hagedorn temperature and the discovery  of the QGP in laboratory.  Time permitting, the role of strangeness, and  strange anti-baryon signature of QGP will be discussed.
