The early Universe after a few microseconds of the bigbang is expected to exist in such a phase. Such a hot-dense matter has been created under extreme conditions of temperature and density in the laboratory like Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (Brook Haven National Laboratory, USA) and Large Hadron Collider (CERN, Geneva) through relativistic heavy ion collisions. The upcoming facility for CBM experiment at GSI, Germany would also create such a system. The study of this subject is highly enriched by basic topics like Quantum Field Theory, Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics, Hydrodynamics etc.. My present work is focused on:
Photon productions in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions Dilepton productions in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions Relativistic Hydrodynamics Study of Strangeness productions using Transport Equation Involvement in particular work: Photon production at SPS, RHIC, LHC ( S NN =17.3 GeV, 200 GeV and 2.76 TeV) energies. Dielectron/dimuon productions at SPS energies Thermal photon to dilepton ratio and the initial temperature of the system produced in heavy ion collision Radial flow in partonic and hadronic phases from electromagnetic radiations Strangeness production: kaon to pion ratio in relativistic nuclear collision
