Investigation of the Thermophysical Behavior of Quark–Gluon Plasma

Abstract

Abstract At very high temperatures and energy densities, a deconfined state of highly interacting matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created, in which quarks and gluons are no longer bound inside hadrons. Relatistic heavy-ion collisions at CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory experimentally reproduce this state, which is thot to have existed microseconds after the Big Bang. Thermophysical characteristics of QGP are studied in this work, which include its collective flow behavior, viscosity, thermal conductivity, equation of state, and transport coefficients. In order to comprehend the almost perfect fluid character of QGP, we will go over both experimental findings and theoretical models, including hydrodynamic modeling and lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The work emphasizes the importance of thermophysical analysis in understanding the early cosmos and the basic characteristics of strong interactions.
