Physics 2, 5 (2009) – Published January 20, 2009 Particles & Fields Nuclear Physics The critical point is one of the main features of the phase diagram of strongly interacting quark-gluon matter. Finding this critical point in the lab will require luck and an understanding of the possible experimental signatures. |

Physics 1, 12 (2008) – Published August 11, 2008 Heavy nuclei formed by fusion reactions often decay rapidly by fissioning into two fragments. Understanding how these decays occur and over what time scale provides a means to locate the superheavy “island of stability.” |
