TL;DR: In the most central Au+Au collisions at the highest beam energy, evidence is found for the formation of a very high energy density system whose description in terms of simple hadronic degrees of freedom is inappropriate as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The universal fragmentation region described by this scaling grows in pseudorapidity with increasing collision energy, extending well away from the beam rapidity and covering more than half of the pseudorAPidity range over which particles are produced.

TL;DR: This Letter presents measurements of the elliptic flow of charged particles as a function of pseudorapidity and centrality from Cu-Cu collisions using the PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, finding that the detailed way in which the collision geometry (eccentricity) is estimated is of critical importance when scaling out system-size effects.
