Abstract The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), with commissioning of the facility expected in late …

We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

A hot, dense medium called a quark gluon plasma (QGP) is created in ultrarelativistic heavy
ion collisions. Early in the collision, hard parton scatterings generate high momentum …

Direct photon production at mid-rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN= 2.76 TeV was studied
in the transverse momentum range 0.9< p T< 14 GeV/c. Photons were detected with the …

In this work it is shown that the use of a hydrodynamical model of heavy-ion collisions which
incorporates recent developments, together with updated photon emission rates, greatly …

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured the centrality dependence of the direct
photon yield from Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV down to p T= 0.4 GeV/c. Photons are …

We discuss the basic ideas of relativistic transport models used for the interpretation and
description of experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at high collision energies. We …

The p T-differential production cross sections of the prompt charmed mesons D 0, D+, D*+,
and D s+ and their charge conjugate in the rapidity interval-0.96< y cms< 0.04 were …

We review several facets of the hydrodynamic description of the relativistic heavy ion
collisions, starting from the historical motivation to the present understandings of the …

We review the phenomenology and theory of bulk observables in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions, focusing on recent developments involving event-by-event fluctuations in the …
