What does QGP mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An extremely hot, dense state of matter in which quarks and gluons move freely instead of being bound inside particles such as protons.
Quark-gluon plasma, abbreviated qgp, is studied by physicists who recreate conditions similar to those that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, using powerful particle accelerators to smash heavy nuclei together at very high energy. Under normal conditions quarks and gluons are locked tightly inside particles like protons and neutrons, but in a qgp that binding briefly breaks down.
How QGP is used
Used in physics research and particle-accelerator reporting rather than everyday speech.
- The collider briefly produced a tiny droplet of qgp.
- Physicists study qgp to understand the earliest moments of the universe.
- The experiment measured how quickly the qgp cooled and expanded.
- Researchers compared their model of qgp against the collision data.
- A qgp can only exist for an extremely short instant before it disperses.
