Physics Colloquium, February 22, 200530 years of hot quark soup: What have we learned about high temperature QCD?Larry YaffeUniversity of WashingtonThe behavior of quarks and gluons at extremely high temperature has been a topic of theoretical interest for 30 years, and is relevant to applications in cosmology and heavy ion collisions. The first part of this talk will give a retrospective view of progress in understanding high temperature quantum chromodynamics (QCD) since the discovery of asymptotic freedom. The latter part of the talk will focus on more recent efforts to address non-equilibrium dynamics of hot quark-gluon plasmas, including scattering processes, transport properties, and non-Abelian plasma instabilities. 3.30 p.m., Smith Laboratory, Room 1005Refreshments served in Smith 1094 at 3:00 p.m. |
