FIAS Scientific Report 2010 - Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies ...

Heavy-Ion Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics Group
Group Leader: Prof. Dr. Igor Mishustin, FIAS Senior Fellow
Main research fields: Physics of strongly interacting matter (equation of state, QCD motivated effective
models, hadron resonance gas); Heavy-Ion collisions at intermediate and high energies (statistical, kinetic and
fluid-dynamical models, non-equilibrium phase transitions); Nuclear astrophysics (structure and dynamics of
compact stars, nuclear composition and EOS of stellar matter); Medical and technical applications (modeling
heavy-ion and proton beam energy deposition in extended media, radiation damage of biomolecules, physics
of ADS systems).
Group members: Dr. Chichiro Sasaki (junior fellow), Dr. Giorgio Torrieri (postdoc), Dr. (Hab.) Leonid
Satarov (long-term visitor), Dr. Igor Pshenichnov (long-term visitor), Dr. Alexander Botvina (long-term
visitor).
