Theory provides roadmap in quest for quark soup 'critical point'

Wednesday, January 4, 2017 - 19:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Thanks to a new development in nuclear physics theory, scientists exploring expanding fireballs that mimic the early universe have new signs to look for as they map out the transition from primordial plasma to matter as we know it. The theoretical work identifies key patterns that would be proof of the existence of a so-called "critical point" in the transition among different phases of nuclear matter.
