Cartwright | Kaminski | Brookhaven National Lab
Department of Energy Science Highlight.
The work of former University of Alabama PhD student, Dr. Casey Carwright (now postdoc at Utrecht University, Netherlands) was featured in the Department of Energy’s Science Highlights [https://www.energy.gov/science/listings/science-highlights]. Together with his thesis adviser, Prof. Matthias Kaminski from the UA Department of Physics and Astronomy, Dr. Cartwright published new calculations providing insights into the dynamics of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions. The DOE highlight article can be found here: A Holographic View into QuantumAnomalies
[https://www.energy.gov/science/np/articles/holographic-view-quantum-anomalies]. Casey had successfully applied for funding from Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program. With this support, Casey was enabled to work for three months with Brookhaven National Lab scientist, Prof. Dr. Bjoern Schenke, leading to the publication.
This work provides one more piece in the puzzle attacked by the AdS4CME Collaboration.
