Schwerionenphysik
The heavy ion physics group studies the phase diagram of nuclear matter. At high temperature and density nuclear matter is changing its properties. First to a hot gas of hadrons and eventually it turns into a new phase, the quark gluon plasma (QGP) in which confinement of quarks and gluons - the fundamental constituents of protons, neutrons ands nuclear matter - is lifted.
