A Magyar Fulbright Egyesület örömmel hívja Önt a Fulbright Club programsorozat következő eseményére.

Meghívott előadó: Dr. Csanád Máté professzor, a Fulbright Egyesület elnökségi tagja (https://csanad.web.elte.hu/phys/cv_eng.pdf)

Az előadó Csanád Máté egyetemi tanulmányait az Innsbrucki Egyetemen kezdte, majd az Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetemen szerzett fizikus diplomát 2004-ben. Doktori tanulmányait a Stony Brook Egyetemen és az Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetemen végezte, PhD fokozatot 2007-ben szerzett. Külföldi kutatóhelyeken (a CERN-ben illetve a Brookhaveni Nemzeti Laboratóriumban) töltött &#8220&#59&#59&#59;kutatóévekkel&#8221&#59&#59&#59; megszakítva azóta is az ELTE Atomfizikai Tanszékének kutatója, ahol 2013-ban habilitált, 2021-ben pedig az MTA doktora lett. Nagyenergiás nehézionfizikával foglalkozik, az itt keletkező anyag hidrodinamikai modellezésével, illetve kvantumstatisztikai korrelációkkal és ezen keresztül a kvarkanyag femtométeres tartományon történő feltérképezésével.

A beszélgetés témája: ősrobbanás a részecskegyorsítóban

Hogyan hozhatunk létre \"kis ősrobbanásokat\" itt a Földön? Atommagok nagyenergiás ütközéseiben, részecskegyorsítók segítségével! Az ilyenkor létrejövő körülmények hasonlatosak a világegyetem születése utáni első mikromásodpercekben uralkodókhoz, extrém magas hőmérséklettel és nyomással. A XXI. század elején meglepetést okozó felfedezés szerint a keletkező, erős kölcsönhatás által uralt, színes kvarkokból és gluonokból álló anyag ilyen extrém körülmények között tökéletes folyadékként viselkedik. Az előadásban az erős kölcsönhatás alapvető tulajdonságait, a világegyetem történetének korai szakaszát és a részecskegyorsítók ezzel kapcsolatos felfedezéseit ismertetjük.
