However, in the early universe, just microseconds after the Big Bang, matter existed in a deconfined state known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a hot, dense soup of free quarks and gluons. Recreating and studying this primordial phase of matter is one of the most exciting frontiers in high-energy nuclear physics. Today, using ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at facilities like the LHC and RHIC, we can momentarily bring this early-universe matter back to life in the laboratory. In this talk, I will present how soft probes, such as two-particle correlations and collective flow, reveal the bulk behavior of the QGP, while hard probes, such as jets and high-pT particles, are used to study how high-energy partons lose energy in the medium. Together, these observables provide complementary insights into the structure, evolution, and transport properties of the QGP.<\/p><p><strong>Name of the Speaker: <\/strong>Dr Raghunath Pradhan, University of Illinois, Chicago <br \/><strong>Date<\/strong>: Friday, 09th May, 2025<br \/><strong>Time<\/strong>: 3.30 PM \u2013 4.30 PM<br \/><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Room no. 004<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar on Exploring the novel phases of matter in the early universe: Soft and hard probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"disabled","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8110"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8198,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8110\/revisions\/8198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbs.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
