Abstract:
Heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC create the hot deconfined QCD matter --- the quark gluon plasma. It was only recently revealed that such quark gluon plasma is exerted by extremely strong vorticity and magnetic fields. In this talk, I will discuss how the vortical and magnetic fields arise in heavy ion collisions and how they influence the dynamics of quark gluon plasma. In particular, I will focus on the spin and chirality related transports in quark gluon plasma that can lead to measurable effects, e.g., the hyperon spin polarization and the chiral magnetic effect.
Brief Biography:
I obtained my PhD from Tsinghua University in 2008. I was a postdoc at Frankfurt University from 2008 to 2012, and at Indiana University from 2012 to 2013. I joined Fudan University in 2013 as an Associate Professor and a Professor since 2018. My research interest covers QCD matter at high temperature and density, heavy-ion phenomenology, neutron star physics, and superfluidity in cold atomic and nuclear matter. Recently, my main focuses are the spin polarization phenomenon and strong magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions which is the topic of today's talk.
