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 …

Abstract Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP), a QCD state of matter created in ultra-relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, has remarkable properties including, for example, a low shear viscosity …

We study the properties of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma with a multistage model
of heavy-ion collisions that combines the TR ENTo initial condition ansatz, free-streaming …

Ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy atomic nuclei produce an extremely hot and dense phase
of matter, known as quark–gluon plasma (QGP), which behaves like a near-perfect fluid with …

First released in 2010, the Rivet library forms an important repository for analysis code,
facilitating comparisons between measurements of the final state in particle collisions and …

Emergent bulk properties of matter governed by the strong nuclear force give rise to physical
phenomena across vastly different scales, ranging from the shape of atomic nuclei to the …

We introduce a model for heavy ion collisions named trajectum, which includes an
expanded initial stage with a variable free streaming velocity v fs and a hydrodynamic stage …

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

Using combined data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion and Large Hadron Colliders, we
constrain the shear and bulk viscosities of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at temperatures of∼ …

We quantitatively estimate properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic
heavy-ion collisions utilizing Bayesian statistics and a multiparameter model-to-data …
