States of the Vacuum: Summary of DE-FG02-04ER46113

Description

We studied the angular dependence of the quark matter produced at the relativistic heavy ion collidor. The strongly coupled quark gluon plasma extends over a large range of rapidity, i.e. polar angle but becomes cooler at forward angles. There is a linear relationship between the chemical potentials of the strange and light quarks. The properties of the system vary slowly as the volume is increase by a factor of 20. EPSCoR funding has allowed the University of Kansas group to become internationally competitive.
