Phase structure of strongly interacting matter (A brief introduction)
Early in 1970s, the research of ordinary nuclear matter had been expanded to baryon matter, nuclear superfluid matter and the so-called quark matter. In recent years, Quark-Gluon Plasma (the typical quark matter at high temperature) and Color Super-Conductor (quark mattert at high density) have been widely studied, being important for deeply understanding Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) and phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. This direction is in the crossing field between nuclear physics and particle physics. It is not merely limited on the framework strong interaction (say, QCD and phenomenological models with the spirit of QCD), but also is closely related to condensed matter physics. Also, the possible realization (or application) of Quark matter directly intersects with relativistic heavy ion collision physics and nuclear astrophysics.
