On 8 October 2025, at 4:00 PM, the Association of Young Scientists and Specialists at JINR invites everyone interested to the next seminar that will take place in the Big Hall of the JINR Scientists’ Club (6 Joliot-Curie St, left side).

A BLTP junior researcher Nikita Tsegelnik will deliver a presentation titled “Hadronic matter under extreme conditions”.

What is matter? What is it made of? What properties does it have? The speaker will first discuss the elementary particles of the Standard Model. Then, examining the “particle zoo”, the audience will learn about hadrons and how they are divided into baryons and mesons. The next topic will be the need for a new quantum number – colour – and the associated phenomenon of confinement. The opposite phenomenon – deconfinement – and the creation of a new form of matter, quark-gluon plasma, will then be considered. Finally, the speaker will briefly review the results in the modern study of nuclear matter under extreme conditions using various approaches, including lattice QCD, holographic approaches, and phenomenological models.
