Jean-Paul Blaizot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean-Paul Blaizot (* 1949 ) is a French theoretical nuclear physicist.

Blaizot studied mathematics and physics at the École normal supérieure (Paris) with a degree in 1969. From 1975 he conducted research for the CNRS , where he became research director in 1994 (from 2007 class exceptionelle ). In 1977 he received his doctorate at the University of Paris VII (Denis Diderot) (dissertation: Theory of elementary excitations of nuclei) and was a post-doctoral student at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen until 1978 . From 1980 to 1982 he was Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and from 1989 to 1990 visiting scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory . From 1995 to 1998 he was deputy director of the theoretical physics department at the research center Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) in Saclay . In 2009 he was visiting professor in Tokyo.

From 2004 to 2008 he was director of the European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT) in Trento.

As a theorist, he deals with the nuclear many-body problem (including QCD degrees of freedom), collective excitations in nuclei and nuclear matter , quark-gluon plasma and the phenomenology of heavy ion collisions, Bose-Einstein condensation , non-perturbation theoretic methods in quantum field theory and quantum field theory at finite temperature and with the renormalization group .

In 1997 he received the Prix ​​Jean Ricard and in 1994 the Langevin Prize of the Académie des Sciences. In 2009 he received the J. Hans D. Jensen Prize from the University of Heidelberg and in 2010 he received an Advanced Grant from the ERC for the study of strongly coupled QCD matter.
