Phase Transitions: from the Laboratory to the Cosmos

Phase transitions are general phenomena taking place in any real materials, from daily life (boiling water) to matter under extreme conditions as it is found in inertial fusion plasmas and planetary interiors, strongly interacting matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, supernova explosions, neutron star interiors and the early universe. This WE-Heraeus School will focus on these topics which are subject of current research with often surprisingly new results that did not yet enter curricular lectures or textbooks.
