The goal of this U.S.-Hungarian research project headed by Brian A. Cole of Columbia University and his partner, Gabor Papp of Eotvos University, is to apply perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) calculations to data from experiments at the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. This will be accomplished by bringing together a team of U.S. and Hungarian physicists with experimental and theoretical expertise to clarify issues associated with the application of pQCD to the study of nuclear collisions. Their goal is to produce sound baseline calculations against which heavy-ion data can be tested for novel experimental signatures. Results are expected to extend the range of problems for which pQCD can be applied and tested. Success should produce fundamental quantitative information from high-momentum transfer scattering processes and contribute to our understanding of the interaction of quarks with matter. This will interest astrophysicists and cosmologists as well as the nuclear physics community. This project in theory and heavy ion nuclear science fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include the introduction of U.S. students and post docs to the international nuclear physics community through work at the Hungarian institution and their direct involvement in the project's efforts to improve the discovery potential of RHIC.

这项由哥伦比亚大学Brian A. Cole及其伙伴Eotvos大学的伙伴Gabor Papp领导的这项美国 - 匈牙利研究项目的目标是将扰动量子量子染色体动力学（PQCD）计算应用于Brookhaven相对繁重的重离子Collider的实验数据中的数据（ Rhic）设施。这将通过将一支具有实验性和理论专业知识的美国和匈牙利物理学家团队召集在一起来实现，以阐明与PQCD在核碰撞研究中的应用相关的问题。他们的目标是产生声音基线计算，可以对重型离子数据进行测试以进行新的实验特征。 结果有望扩大可以应用和测试PQCD的问题范围。成功应从高摩肌转移散射过程中产生基本的定量信息，并有助于我们理解夸克与物质的相互作用。这将引起天体物理学家和宇宙学家以及核物理学界的关注。 理论上的这个项目和重离子核科学实现了计划的目标，即通过使美国和中欧的专家能够结合互补才能并在浓厚的共同利益和能力的领域中共享研究资源，从而实现了促进科学知识的计划。 更广泛的影响包括通过匈牙利机构的工作向国际核物理学界引入美国学生并将文档邮寄到国际核物理界，以及他们直接参与该项目以提高RHIC的发现潜力的努力。
