Larry D. McLerran is a prominent American theoretical physicist, known for his contributions to the fields of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and particle physics. He is particularly recognized for his work on the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, such as those found in heavy-ion collisions. McLerran has been instrumental in the development of theoretical frameworks that describe the behavior of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter believed to have existed shortly after the Big Bang.
