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 …

Overview of high-density QCD studies with the CMS experiment at the LHC

CMS collaboration - Physics Reports, 2025 - Elsevier
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 …

Formation of dense partonic matter in relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions at RHIC: experimental evaluation by the PHENIX collaboration

K Adcox, SS Adler, S Afanasiev, C Aidala… - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
Extensive experimental data from high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions were recorded

The PHOBOS perspective on discoveries at RHIC

BB Back, MD Baker, M Ballintijn, DS Barton, B Becker… - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
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 …

Multiphase transport model for relativistic heavy ion collisions

ZW Lin, CM Ko, BA Li, B Zhang, S Pal - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2005 - APS
We describe in detail how the different components of a multiphase transport (ampt) model
that uses the heavy ion jet interaction generator (hi**g) for generating the initial conditions …

New forms of QCD matter discovered at RHIC

M Gyulassy, L McLerran - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
We discuss two special limiting forms of QCD matter which may be produced at RHIC. We
conclude from the available empirical evidence that an equilibrated, but strongly coupled …

Energy dependence of pion and kaon production in central Pb+ Pb collisions

SV Afanasiev, T Anticic, D Barna, J Bartke, RA Barton… - Physical Review C, 2002 - APS
Measurements of charged pion and kaon production in central Pb+ Pb collisions at 40, 80,

Hadron production in nuclear collisions at RHIC and high-density QCD

D Kharzeev, M Nardi - Physics Letters B, 2001 - Elsevier
We analyze the first results on charged particle multiplicity at RHIC in the conventional
eikonal approach and in the framework of high-density QCD. We extract the fraction F of the …

Flow at the SPS and RHIC as a quark-gluon plasma signature

D Teaney, J Lauret, EV Shuryak - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
Radial and elliptic flow in noncentral heavy-ion collisions can constrain the effective
equation of state (EOS) of the excited nuclear matter. To this end, a model combining …
