Description of the research topic:

Results from RHIC and LHC have shown, that the color degrees of freedom in high energy heavy ion physics are indeed partly deconfined, but they behave collectively and create a strongly interacting perfect fluid. Many properties of this matter are still unknown. The topic of this research is to investigate this matter, via the measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations, the investigation of the spacetime structure of the particle emitting source, and the testing of hydrodynamical models. We plan to perform multi-particle correlation measurements at the experiments of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Super Proton Synchrotron, to understand the changes in the spacetime structure as a function of collision energy and system size.
