Uncovering the Start of the Universe through the QGP

We can recreate the matter that existed in the early universe – called quark-guon plasma (QCP) – on Earth by colliding heavy atomic nuclei, such as lead, using ultra-relativistic accelerators like the LHC. My dream is to reveal the mechanisms behind the birth of the early universe through QGP creation experiments and the study of matter collisions. I also aspire to discover a previously unknown state of matter known as the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), and to solve the mystery of how the masses of protons and neutrons originate, thereby testing the Nambu theory.
