The Nuclear Physics Experiment group is actively pursuing a wide range of research topics in the field of relativistic heavy ion collisions.
Current physics research topics include:
- Relativistic heavy-ion collisions
- Boson interferometry studies for pion/kaon source sizes
- Nuclear equation of state
- Collective effects and flow
- Miniature black hole production in proton-proton collisions
- Study of quark-gluon plasma
- Transverse momentum distributions (pion, kaon, proton, antiproton)
- Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic heavy-ion collisions
- Silicon drift detector development
