60th Karpacz Winter School on Theoretical Physics & WE-Heraeus Physics School

16 May 2024, 09:00 → 25 May 2024, 12:00 Europe/Warsaw

Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroclaw / Hotel "Artus", Karpacz

David Blaschke, Krzysztof Redlich (University of Wroclaw), Oleksii Ivanytskyi (University of Wroclaw)

The 60th anniversary edition of the Karpacz Winter School on Theoretical Physics and WE-Heraeus Physics School is devoted to the topic  

 

Phase transitions - From the Laboratories to the Cosmos.

 

The event is organized by the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Wroclaw and funded by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation.

 

Subjects

Phase transitions are general phenomena occurring at various spatial and energy scales. They take place in any real materials, from daily life (boiling water) to matter under extreme conditions as it is found in inertial fusion plasmas and planetary interiors, strongly interacting matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, supernova explosions, neutron star interiors and the early universe. This Physics School will focus on these topics which are subject of current research with often surprisingly new results that did not yet enter curricular lectures or textbooks. The lectures will cover topics related to:

 

• phase transitions in neutron stars

• JWST, primordial black holes and cosmological phase transitions;

• critical point and dynamics of a phase transition in heavy ion collisions;

• quark deconfinement in supernova explosions;

• warm dense plasmas from inertial fusion to planetary interiors;

• topological phases of matter in and out of equilibrium;

• the complexity of neutron star matter: from the liquid gas phase transition to chiral symmetry breaking and restoration;

• the universality of critical behaviour
