Department of Physics, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Brehova 7, Prague 1, 115 19, Czech Republic

Science and research work concentrate on mathematical physics and experimental nuclear and sub nuclear physics, but also on theoretical physics, statistical physics, quantum optics and quantum information, computational physics and plasma physics.

Science and research activities of the Department are developed in co-operation with foreign partners, science and research centres (CERN, Fermi lab, GSI) and institutes of the Czech Academy of Science. The Department co-operates closely with the Doppler Institute and develops mainly mathematical physics and other related branches. Co-operation in technology transfer with leading enterprises is developed in the Centre of Excellence.

Theory and phenomenology of the heavy-ion collisions

In the theory of hadron-hadron, hadron-nuclear and nucleus-nuclear collisions we compute the probability of new particle production and their properties.

We also investigate the passage of particles through the nuclear medium and its effects.

In nucleus-nuclear collisions we try to create the state of matter during the so-called Big-Bang, where the development of so-called quark-gluon plasma is predicted. In this context we study the reaction of matter immediately after the collision of two nuclei. At this point a number of effects and phenomena develops, which need to be theoretically correctly described.
