报告人介绍

Xin-Nian Wang received his Ph. D. in physics from the University of Oregon in 1989 and then went to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1989-1991) and Duke University (1991-1992) as a postdoctoral fellow. He was appointed as a Divisional Fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1992, became a Senior Scientist in 1997 and was the head of the Nuclear Theory Program during 1999-2007. He was the Program Manager and co-Spokesmen of the JET Topical Collaboration of US Department of Energy during 2010-2015. He was also a Professor at Central China Normal University during 2010-2020. His main research interest is in high-energy particle and nuclear physics, especially in the search for a new form of matter known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. His recent work focuses on hard probes of QGP, relativistic hydrodynamic models and application of machine learning in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. He was a co-winner of the Natural Science Award (second prize) by the Chinese Academy of Science in 1991, awarded the Outstanding Overseas Young Investigator by Natural Science Foundation of China and Changjiang Visiting Professorship by the Ministry of Education of China in 2000-2005. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002, and won the Polish Ministry of National Education Award for Outstanding Team Research in 2003. 

报告摘要

Jet quenching is caused by the energy loss when an energetic parton propagates through the QGP medium. Since the parton travels at the speed of light which is much faster than the velocity of sound inside a QGP, such an energy loss to the medium will generate a supersonic shock wave or a Mach cone in the medium similar to the Mach wake generated by supersonic jet airplanes. In this talk, I will discuss recent renewed efforts to search for such a shock wave utilizing newly developed jet tomographic techniques and how to use it to study properties of the QGP in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
