Abstract:
The study of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, densities, and external fields, is important for understanding the behavior of matter in astrophysical environments, such as neutron stars, and in heavy-ion collision experiments, where both rotation and magnetic fields can play a significant role.
In this talk, I will present our recent progress of hot and dense QCD matter under new extreme conditions. We explore the QCD phase diagram under the combined influence of rotation and magnetic fields, analyze the transport properties of rotating magnetized matter, and study the modifications to the jet quenching parameter and energy loss near the critical temperature with magnetic field . Additionally, we examine the heavy quark potential, dragging force, and the spectral function of vector mesons, with a focus on their spin alignments.
Biography:
Professor Hou obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute of Particle Physics at Central China Normal University (CCNU) in 1996. During 1996-2022, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Regensburg in Germany, as well as at the University of Winnipeg and Brandon University in Canada. He was a Humboldt Fellow at Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany. He has also served as a guest professor at The Ohio State University and The Rockefeller University in the United States. Since returning back to China in 2004, he has been a professor at CCNU. Now he is the Distinguished Professor of Boya Scholars, Second-Level Professor, at CCNU. He is the recipient of the New Century Excellent Talents in University Program by the Ministry of Education. He has been awarded the First Prize of Natural Science by the Ministry of Education and twice received the Second Prize of Natural Science in Hubei Province as the first awardee.
His primary research focuses on finite-temperature quantum field theory and its applications. He has made significant contributions in areas such as hot and dense QCD, transport coefficients, quark matter theory, color superconductivity, compact stars, AdS/CFT correspondence and strongly coupled QGP, CME/CVE, among others. He has published over 130 academic papers in authoritative journals, including three in Physical Review Letters. Professor Hou has led and completed multiple general projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, chaired two key projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and participated in major projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology's "973" Program.
