    Lines Plasma
In summary, the conversation is about identifying the quark gluon plasma (QGP) in a picture found on a news website. The person is asking for a link to the source of the picture and what steps have been taken to identify the QGP. They also express confusion about identifying the QGP and what it looks like.

I'm curious what are those lines? Which one are the quark gluon plasma?

This. And also please tell us what steps you've already taken to answer your question.

I'm just confused when people said they discovered QGP but I'm not sure which one is the QGP. What does QGP looks like actually.
 

1. What is a quark-gluon plasma?

A quark-gluon plasma is a state of matter that exists at extremely high temperatures and densities, where the individual particles that make up protons and neutrons (quarks and gluons) are no longer confined within these particles and instead move freely.

2. How is a quark-gluon plasma created?

A quark-gluon plasma can be created in high-energy collisions between particles, such as in particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider. These collisions release a tremendous amount of energy, causing the particles to break apart and form a quark-gluon plasma state.

3. How do scientists study quark-gluon plasma?

Scientists study quark-gluon plasma by analyzing the particles and energy produced in high-energy collisions. They also use theoretical models and simulations to understand the behavior of this unique state of matter.

4. What are the properties of quark-gluon plasma?

Quark-gluon plasma is a hot, dense, and strongly interacting state of matter. It has unique properties such as low viscosity and high energy density, and it is believed to have existed in the early universe just after the Big Bang.

5. Why is the study of quark-gluon plasma important?

Studying quark-gluon plasma can help scientists understand the fundamental building blocks of matter and the behavior of matter at extreme conditions. It can also provide insights into the early universe and the formation of the first particles and structures after the Big Bang.
