Heavy ion collisions at the LHC and at RHIC  (seminar)
(Gruppenseminare "Schwerionenphysik bei LHC und RHIC"
                         &  "Besprechung neuerer Arbeiten zur relativistischen Schwerionenphysik")


The purpose of the seminar is to discuss recent results in collisions of heavy nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies or related theoretical topics, triggered by the experimental results at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
