QCD under Extreme Conditions

Research Project Physics

The phase diagram of the strong interaction on the density versus temperature plane. Low temperature and low density is the hadronic phase. High temperature and low density is the quark-gluon plasma phase. Between them there is a first order transition line (brown solid line) with a second order endpoint (red point/circle). At low temperatures and large densities one expects a rich phase structure (liquid-gas, compact stars, color superconductivity). The green arrow shows the evolution of the early universe

Ab-initio Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Reactions

Research Project Physics

A rendering of a nebula in space sits in the top left of the image. From there, a blue spiral of numbers in binary spin in toward an atomic nuclei filled with red and blue spheres also formed of strings of binary numbers.

QMC-HAMM: High Accuracy Multiscale Models Using Quantum Monte Carlo

Research Project Materials Science

a diagonal purple arc bisects the image from the bottom left to the top right corners. Above the arc are free-floating grey hydrogen particles shaped like dumbbells with spherical heads on a blue background. beneath the arc are the same particles but rigidly stacked in a lattice formation.

Three-Dimensional Imaging of the Nucleon Transverse Spin Structure

Research Project Physics

A green sphere representing a quark sits inside of a halved concave orange sphere representing a proton. A large yellow arrow piercing through the orange shell denotes the motion of the proton, and corkscrewing yellow commets to the right of the proton represent its spin.
