AbstractMicroscopic and macroscopic theory and models of heavy ion collisions are used to train AI to extract the equation of state of hot and cold dense matter from heavy ion- STAR data and neutron star data. Interesting new phases of matter are formed at baryon densities between 3 and 5 times nuclear density.

BioProf. Horst Stöcker is the member of both German Academy of Engineering Sciences and the Academia Europea. He did his Ph.D. "Shock Waves in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions" in Walter Greiner's Frankfurt School of Theoretical Physics at Goethe University, Germany. He spent his postdoc years at LBL Berkeley, California and at GSI Darmstadt. In 1982, he joined the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at MSU, East Lansing, Michigan. In 1985, he became the Professor of Theoretical Physics at Goethe University, where he promoted 70 Ph.D students and published more than 750 articles, with a H- Index of 100, and more than 35 000 citations. He served as Goethe Univ. Vice President from 2000-2008, and was the Director of GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research, Darmstadt until 2015. He founded the FIAS, Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. He is one of the founders of the new International Heavy Ion Accelerator Center "FAIR in Europe".
