Even though Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) was formulated over three decades ago, it poses enormous challenges for describing the properties of hadrons from the underlying quark-gluon degrees of freedom. Moreover, the problem of describing the nuclear force from its quark-gluon origin is still open. While a direct solution of QCD to describe the hadrons and nuclear force is not possible at this time, we explore a variety of developed approaches ranging from phenomenology to first principle calculations at one or other level of approximation in linking the nuclear force to QCD. The Dyson Schwinger formulation (DSE) of coupled integral equations for the QCD Green's functions allows a non-perturbative approach to describe hadronic properties, starting from the level of QCD n-point functions. A significant approximation in this method is the employment of a finite truncation of the system of DSEs, that might distort the physical picture. In this work we explore the effects of including a more complete truncation of the quark-gluon vertex function on the resulting solutions for the quark 2-point functions as well as the pseudoscalar and vector meson masses. The exploration showed strong indications of possibly large contributions from the explicit inclusion of the gluon 3- and 4-point functions that are omitted in this and previous analyses. We then explore the possibility of extrapolating state of the art lattice QCD calculations of nucleon form factors to the physical regime using phenomenological models of nucleon structure. Finally, we further developed the Quark Meson Coupling model for describing atomic nuclei and nuclear matter, where the quark-gluon structure of nucleons is modeled by the MIT bag model and the nucleon many body interaction is mediated by the exchange of scalar and vector mesons. This approach allows us to formulate a fully relativistic theory, which can be expanded in the nonrelativistic limit to reproduce the well known phenomenological Skyrme-type interaction density functional, thus providing a direct link to well modeled nuclear forces. Moreover, it allows for a derivation of the equation of state for cold uniform dense nuclear matter for application to calculations of the properties of neutron stars.

Quantum chromodynamics describes the phases of strongly-interacting matter and their boundaries, including the deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase reached in the high energy density regime. Properties of the QGP are studied using ultrarelativistic collisions of fully-ionized heavy nuclei, which also exhibit (cold) nuclear matter properties unrelated to the plasma. An indicator of the QGP temperature is the modification of quarkonium production in collisions between two heavy ions relative to collisions between two protons. The modification in collisions between a heavy ion and a proton, where the QGP is typically not produced but nuclear matter is abundant, provides an essential baseline. Production cross sections of Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S) mesons decaying into [mu]+[mu]− in proton-lead (pPb) collisions are measured using data collected by the CMS experiment at [square root][superscript s]NN = 5.02 TeV. Nuclear modification factors R[subscript pPb] for all three Y states, obtained using measured proton-proton (pp) cross sections at the same collision energy, show that Y states are suppressed in pPb collisions compared to pp collisions. Sequential ordering of the Y R[subscript pPb], with Y(1S) least suppressed and Y(3S) most suppressed, indicates presence of final- state modification of Y mesons in pPb collisions. The R[subscript pPb] of individual Y states are found to be consistent with constant values when studied as functions of transverse momentum and center-of-mass rapidity. Predictions using the final-state comover interaction model, which incorporates sequential suppression of bottomonia in pPb, are found to be in better agreement with the measured R[subscript pPb] versus rapidity than predictions using initial-state mod- ification models. Nuclear modification is less pronounced in pPb collisions than in lead-lead collisions, where the additional lead nucleus and QGP effects result in greater Y suppression. Forward-backward production ratios R[subscript FB] of Y states, which help investigate regions of different nuclear matter densities, are found to be consistent with unity and constant with increasing event activity measured both far away from and near to the measured Y.

The goal of high-energy nuclear physics is to understand the dynamics and properties of the various forms and phases of the strongly-interacting matter. Heavy-ion collision experiments are performed to deposit a large energy density in a very small volume of space and generate a form of extremely hot matter called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The behavior of the generated matter shows signatures of collectivity allowing phenomenological models based on statistical or fluid dynamical descriptions to be used successfully to analyze the outcomes the experiments. However, the very short lifetime and the extreme conditions of the QGP call for the construction of theoretical models based on the physics of nonequilibrium systems.Understanding the properties of QGP requires the study of collective excitations in the emergent many-body dynamics of the quarks and gluons as the fundamental objects in the theory of quantum chromodynamics. In this dissertation, the collective excitations of the nonequilibrium QGP are studied by calculating the quark and gluon self-energies within the hard loop effective theory. By extracting the solutions of the gluon dispersion relation in the complex plane, the presence of unstable modes in the momentum-anisotropic QGP is studied. The quark self-energy is also used to calculate the rate of photon emission from QGP in the subsequent studies performed as part of this dissertation. Electromagnetic probes (photons and dileptons) are considered among the best observables for extracting information about the early stages of evolution of the strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. In contrast to the hadrons, the emitted photons and leptons are not distorted by a strong coupling to the medium and they can escape the system with much larger mean free paths. Since the dilepton and photon emission rates from QGP are directly affected by the momentum distribution of the partonic degrees of freedom, their emission patterns can provide information about the nonequilibrium features of the system such as the momentum anisotropy of the distributions. In this dissertation, the effects of momentum anisotropy on the yields and elliptic flow coefficients of the dileptons and photons from QGP are investigated. The emission rates are calculated for distributions featuring ellipsoidal momentum anisotropies, and then the rates are convolved with the space-time evolution of the system using a relativistic hydrodynamical model. The effects of various parameters on the results are studied. In particular, the results are interpreted considering their connections to the extraction of early dynamics of QGP from future experimental data. Another important class of the probes of the nonequilibrium QGP is related to the dynamics of the heavy quarks in the system and their bound states. The properties of the heavy bound states, such as their decay rates, are affected by the hot and dense strongly interacting medium. Heavy quarks, due to their longer relaxation times, are also used to probe the transport properties of the QGP perturbed out of equilibrium. The potential for a bound state inside a hot medium may acquire an imaginary part. In this dissertation, the imaginary part of the heavy quark potential is calculated using classical-statistical simulations of the Yang-Mills theory on lattice. The connection of the results to the momentum diffusion of the heavy quarks is discussed. Lattice computation for the real-time dynamics of the non-Abelian theories allows for the nonperturbative analysis of the systems in and out of equilibrium.

The principal goals of the study were to articulate the scientific rationale and objectives of the field and then to take a long-term strategic view of U.S. nuclear science in the global context for setting future directions for the field. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter provides a long-term assessment of an outlook for nuclear physics. The first phase of the report articulates the scientific rationale and objectives of the field, while the second phase provides a global context for the field and its long-term priorities and proposes a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond. In the second phase of the study, also developing a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond, the committee carefully considered the balance between universities and government facilities in terms of research and workforce development and the role of international collaborations in leveraging future investments. Nuclear physics today is a diverse field, encompassing research that spans dimensions from a tiny fraction of the volume of the individual particles (neutrons and protons) in the atomic nucleus to the enormous scales of astrophysical objects in the cosmos. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter explains the research objectives, which include the desire not only to better understand the nature of matter interacting at the nuclear level, but also to describe the state of the universe that existed at the big bang. This report explains how the universe can now be studied in the most advanced colliding-beam accelerators, where strong forces are the dominant interactions, as well as the nature of neutrinos.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) construction project was completed at BNL in 1999, with the first data-taking runs in the summer of 2000. Since then the early measurements at RHIC have yielded a wealth of data, from four independent detectors, each with its international collaboration of scientists: BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and STAR [1]. For the first time, collisions of heavy nuclei have been carried out at colliding-beam energies that have previously been accessible only for high-energy physics experiments with collisions of ''elementary'' particles such as protons and electrons. It is at these high energies that the predictions of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory that describes the role of quarks and gluons in nuclear matter, come into play, and new phenomena are sought that may illuminate our view of the basic structure of matter on the sub-atomic scale, with important implications for the origins of matter on the cosmic scale. The RHIC experiments have recorded data from collisions of gold nuclei at the highest energies ever achieved in man-made particle accelerators. These collisions, of which hundreds of millions have now been examined, result in final states of unprecedented complexity, with thousands of produced particles radiating from the nuclear collision. All four of the RHIC experiments have moved quickly to analyze these data, and have begun to understand the phenomena that unfold from the moment of collision as these particles are produced. In order to provide benchmarks of simpler interactions against which to compare the gold-gold collisions, the experiments have gathered comparable samples of data from collisions of a very light nucleus (deuterium) with gold nuclei, as well as proton-proton collisions, all with identical beam energies and experimental apparatus. The early measurements have revealed compelling evidence for the existence of a new form of nuclear matter at extremely high density and temperature--a medium in which the predictions of QCD can be tested, and new phenomena explored, under conditions where the relevant degrees of freedom, over nuclear volumes, are expected to be those of quarks and gluons, rather than of hadrons. This is the realm of the quark gluon plasma, the predicted state of matter whose existence and properties are now being explored by the RHIC experiments.
