Preseminar Extreme Matter Institute EMMI Workshop on
 Quark-Gluon-Plasma and Cold Atomic Physics - SS 2008  

Johanna Stachel / Markus Oberthaler / Thomas Gasenzer / Jan Pawlowski

Physikalisches Institut, kleiner Hörsaal, Philosophenweg 12

 Montag 16:15 bis 17:45 Uhr

This Seminar explores the synergies and communalities between the physics of the coldest and the hottest systems we can study experimentally in the laboratory: cold quantum gases and the quark-gluon plasma. It brings together interested students and researchers and experts working in one or both of these areas. This seminar is in preparation of a workshop planned within the new Helmholtz Alliance EMMI (http://www.gsi.de/forschung/helmholtz-alliance/EMMI.html) for the Fall of this year (2008)

Topics are assigned anytime during the semester break by the respective advisor listed first or at the latest on April 4
