  • More about Gauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions

Heavy ion collision experiments have revealed that the quark-gluon plasma is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with minimal dissipation. String theory provides a powerful toolbox for studying matter with these properties, and this book provides a comprehensive introduction to gauge/string duality and its applications to the study of quark-gluon plasma.

Heavy ion collision experiments have revealed that the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent universe is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with minimal dissipation, making it impossible to perceive as composed of particles. String theory offers a powerful framework for studying matter with these characteristics. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to gauge/string duality and its applications to the study of the thermal and transport properties of quark-gluon plasma, the dynamics of its formation, flow, and response to probes such as jets and quarkonium mesons. Calculations are discussed in the context of data from RHIC and LHC, as well as results from finite temperature lattice QCD. This book is an essential reference for students and researchers in string theory, quantum field theory, quantum many-body physics, heavy ion physics, and lattice QCD. Originally published in 2014, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
