The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

We review the theoretical background, experimental techniques, and phenomenology of
what is known in relativistic heavy ion physics as the Glauber model, which is used to …

This paper describes the conclusions that can be drawn from the data taken thus far with the
PHOBOS detector at RHIC. In the most central Au+ Au collisions at the highest beam energy …

We provide a broad overview of the theoretical status and phenomenological applications of
the color glass condensate effective field theory, which describes universal properties of …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

Heavy ion collisions quickly form a droplet of quark–gluon plasma (QGP) with a remarkably
small viscosity. We give an accessible introduction to how to study this smallest and hottest …

We review key measurements performed by CMS in the context of its heavy ion physics
program, using event samples collected in 2010–2018 with several collision systems and …

The results from the STAR Collaboration on directed flow (v 1), elliptic flow (v 2), and the
fourth harmonic (v 4) in the anisotropic azimuthal distribution of particles from Au+ Au …

We report measurements of single-particle inclusive spectra and two-particle azimuthal
distributions of charged hadrons at high transverse momentum (high p T) in minimum bias …
