High Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics

High-energy physics aims to unravel the processes that occur during collisions of nucleii or particles at ultra-relativistic energies. High-energy particle physics addresses the most fundamental questions regarding elementary particles, the basic building blocks of our universe, and their interactions. The goal of high-energy nuclear physics is to understand the properties of nuclear matter created in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. In such a collision, the so-called strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) was created, which filled the universe in the first microsecond of its existence.

The section "High Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics" publishes research focused on both of these topics, their intersections, and related subjects. The latest findings in high-energy collider and non-collider experiments, as well as theory and phenomenology results discussing related phenomena, are particularly welcome.
