Bhubaneswar: Famous physicist Bedangdas MohantyProfessor, National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) Bhubaneswar and a member of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN won the prestigious Infosys Prize Physics Category of the year 2021.
The award was announced on Thursday evening. Mohanty’s name was selected by the jury from a group of scientists working in the best institutions of the world. The award consists of a gold medal, a citation and a purse of $100,000 (or its equivalent in rupees) and is awarded in six categories—engineering and computer science, humanities, life sciences, mathematical sciences, physical sciences and social sciences. Is.
“I am happy to receive the honour. I have worked prominently in large collaborations of institutions and countries. The work would not have been possible without my colleagues in the STAR and LHC experiments,” Mohanty said in his speech.
Earlier, Mohanty was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society for the year 2020. He received this honor for his distinguished contribution to the study and discovery of the quantum chromodynamics phase diagram. QCD Critical points in high-energy nuclear collisions at both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
He has been elected to all three Fellows of the Academy in India. He received the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award – the highest award in science in India in the year 2015. he is also the recipient Jesse Bose Fellow in 2016. Apart from these, he is the recipient of many awards in the field of physics.
Mohanty has contributed to the establishment of the quark–hadron transition and the first direct comparison between experimental high-energy heavy-ion collision data and QCD calculations. Physics World considered it among the 10 best in the year 2011.
His work in the STAR experiment has led to an exciting possibility of the existence of a critical point in the phase diagram of the QCD. One of this work established the observable for the critical point search in the experiment. It is considered a landmark work in this area.
He has successfully led the beam energy scan physics program in this direction to publish important scientific papers in Physical Review Letters related to QCD Critical Point. He was instrumental in pioneering such a program in Quark Matter 2009. Then performed preparations for the proposed QCD critical point search of the star detector and collider and QCD phase diagram searching at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
He has made significant contributions in the discovery of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) in the laboratory. This state of matter existed in the first few microseconds of the old universe. In such a case, the quarks and gluons are de-limited and move freely to a much greater degree than the nucleonic scale. To obtain such a substance in the laboratory, a temperature of the order of 1012 Kelvin needs to be created.
