Nordic Winter Meeting on Physics @ FAIR

High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) spans over wide areas of basic and applied physics including astrophysics, planetary sciences, geophysics, inertial fusion and many others. Over the past decade, extensive theoretical work [1-8] that included sophisticated 2D and 3D numerical simulations as well as analytic modeling, has shown that due to volumetric energy deposition in matter, an intense...

A talk reviews the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment goals, informs of the current status of its preparations and, finally, concludes with the plans for the near future of the project.

Ultra-relativistic heavy ion reactions provide a tool to study the collective properties of extreme states of matter, of the Quark Gluon Plasma. Collective flow dynamics is one of the most dominant observations and enables us to draw conclusions on the Equation of State, on the transport properties and of the phase structure and transitions of the matter. The collective elliptic flow scales...
