Dr. Anthony Timmins鈥� research interests mainly focus on the ALICE detector at the CERN laboratory, Geneva, Switzerland. The ALICE detector measures data from relativistic heavy-ions collisions, where a state of matter called the Quark Gluon Plasma is created. In this state, the quarks and gluons that make up nuclear matter 鈥渕elt鈥� to become deconfined. The temperatures required for this transition are approximately 4 trillion kelvin, which is approximately a million times hotter than the center of the Sun. It is believed the universe existed in such a state shortly after the big bang.
