3 T.D.Lee： In order to study the question of ‘vacuum’, we must turn to a different direction: we should investigate some ‘bulk’ phenomena by distributing high energy over a relatively large volume.” Rev. Mod. Phys. 47, 267(1975) from 1897 to present: to comprehend the largest, we need only understand the smallest. from present to 21st century: to know the smallest, we need also the largest!

12 What RHIC has told us … STAR: NPA757, 102 (05) Jet quenching, Large v2, NCQ-scalings, Large radial flow STAR models As we know, until now, RHIC has accumulated huge amount of data. Among these data, I think the first key observation is ‘jet quenching’, i.e. in central Au-Au collisions, the yield of high pt particle per binary collision is suppressed compared to that of pp collisions at the same energy. This results indicate very high gluon density at the early stage. The second one is the large elliptic flow value in semi-central Au-Au collisions. As we also see in the plot, hadronic transport models can not reproduce the data, which means partonic phase is essential to generate such high pressure at early stage. The third one is the number of constituent quark scaling of elliptic flow at intermediate pt region. According to the coalescence model, the scaled v2 will be the v2 of partons at hadronization. This phenomenon is another indication of deconfinement at RHIC. The fourth one is the large radial flow. This figure shows the results of the blast wave model fitting to pi,k,p spectra for differenct centralities. As we can see, with the increase of centrality, the collective velocity becomes larger and larger, for the most central collisions, it even reaches .6 speed of light. All these data shown here strongly indicate that a fast expanding partonic matter has been created at RHIC. The question now is whether thermalization is reached.

15 QCD is non-perturbative even at extremely high temperature !
the validity of a weak coupling expansion depends not only on the strength of the coupling, but also on the number of active degrees of freedom ! coupling α solid dynamics liquid gas ideal gas non-perturbative perturbative only here ! density n collectivity

16 Strongly Coupled Quark Matter
● lattice 2009: more non-perturbative when charm quark is thermalized, 50% contribution ! conclusion: non-perturbative QCD even at extremely high T ! ● two possible states of sQGP: a) independent quasi-partons b) partons + bound states

20 Gapless Color Superconductivity
通过考虑色电中性条件对色超导态的影响，发现激发的准粒子能量可以为零，引导了无能隙色超导态的提出。在我们2003年提出这一新概念后，迅速成为QCD相变研究的一个热点。

21 Pion Superfluidity 解析证明了π超流的临界化学势等于真空中的π质量，纠正了以往文献中认为两者只是近似相等的结论，引导了高密π超流的研究。
