Research Statement:            

Professor Jens Jørgen Gaardhøje has studied nuclear reactions at energies ranging from 5 MeV per nucleon to now over 5 TeV per nucleon. He founded and led the leading group in the world on Giant Resonances built on excited nuclear states in the 80'ties and 90'ties.

In the middle 90'ties he became interested in relativistic heavy ion collisions, first using the lead beam at CERN-SPS (CH) and then at BNL-RHIC (USA). He was co-director (co-spokesman) of the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC from start to finish (1997-2010). The body of data from BRAHMS and the other 3 RHIC experiments established the existence of the strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) a novel state of matter consisting of the fundamental strongly interacting particles, quarks and gluons.

In the period 2005-2019 he was member of the management of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, where he also built and led the Forward Multiplicity Detector which extends the kinematical coverage of ALICE significantly. The research group he leads has obtained a leading international role in particle production studies at LHC and in the study of the collective and transport properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma at the top LHC energy. (h-index=110, >500 articles, >57.000 citations).

He was for 16 years president of the science commission of the Danish UNESCO National Commission and has served on the Danish Research Council for Natural Science and numerous international research organi- zations, panels and councils. He is currently director of the DK National Center for CERN research (NICE) and PI & CEO of the CERN-UP National Infrastructure upgrade project (UFM). He was until recently vice-president of the Council of the CERN laboratory, Geneva. He is member and co-chair of the PSE strategic working group of ESFRI.
