Report Abstract: The study of the properties of high-density nuclear matter, especially the hadron-quark phase transition, during the early and late evolution of the universe holds significant importance for human understanding of the cosmic evolution process and neutron stars, which serve as natural laboratories for extreme physics. This report primarily presents my recent theoretical research on topics related to the exploration of dense matter properties, including the phase diagram and phase boundaries of high-density nuclear matter, the hyperon puzzle in neutron stars, quark potential, and high-density symmetry energy. Through this, I aim to enhance human understanding of cosmic evolution, neutron star structure, and non-perturbative QCD.
Introduction to the presenter: Yong Gaochan, a researcher at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has long been engaged in theoretical research on medium- and high-energy heavy ion collisions. His main research directions include the equation of state of high-density nuclear matter, QCD phase transitions, hypernuclei physics, as well as collective flow and transport simulations in heavy ion collisions.
