Gravitational waves could prove the existence of the quark-gluon plasma

Thursday, April 30, 2020 - 16:00 in Physics & Chemistry

According to modern particle physics, matter produced when neutron stars merge is so dense that it could exist in a state of dissolved elementary particles. This state of matter, called quark-gluon plasma, might produce a specific signature in gravitational waves. Physicists have now calculated this process using supercomputers.
