Abstract:
It has been recently realized that
the quark-gluon plasma produced
in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions is subjected to the
strongest in nature
electromagnetic fields. Due to the
kinetic properties of the quark-
gluon plasma these fields are
frozen into it and thus exist as
long as the plasma itself. This
presents an exciting opportunity
to study quantum
electrodynamics in the high-field-
intensity regime, thought to be
out of experimental reach thus
far. Additionally, it opens a new
avenue to study the topology of
nuclear matter.
