    The Department of Theoretical Physics are happy to welcome Dr Theo Motta, Universitat Gießen, who will give our Seminar this week on 

    Inhomogeneous phases in the QCD phase diagram

    For a few decades now, the possibility of spatially inhomogeneous crystalline phases in the QCD phase diagram has been investigated. Studies based on models of QCD such as NJL or quark-meson models do show such phases, however, no unambiguous confirmation that they happen in QCD has been achieved yet. In this talk, I will review the current state of the search for inhomogeneities and discuss the first attempts to perform a QCD-based stability analysis for such phenomena.

    For those who wish to attend online, we have set up a Microsoft Teams meeting.  Please use the link below to join:
