Abstract given by the source: Quantum chromodynamics is a theory of interactions between the basic building blocks of matter: quarks and gluons. In nature quarks and gluons appear confined to the states known as hadrons. Given sufficient heat or compression, hadrons dissolve. Matter under such extreme conditions is prepared for a short time in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC and is called the quark-gluon plasma. The plasma is not a static object, but in particular rapidly decelerates. The researcher was interested in the early stages of the collision where the acceleration is strong enough to alter the vacuum structure of QCD. By formulating Quantum chromodynamics in accelerated frames he examined possibillity that the state of quasi-free quarks and gluons, where also chiraland axial baryon number symmetry is restored can be achieved for strong enough acceleration. This research improves the understanding of the early time thermalization of the quark-gluon plasma.
