The PHOBOS Perspective on Discoveries at RHIC

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glauber Modeling in High Energy Nuclear Collisions

TL;DR: A brief history of the original Glauber model is presented in this article, with emphasis on its development into the purely classical, geometric picture used for present-day data analyses.

Electron-Ion Collider: The next QCD frontier: Understanding the glue that binds us all

Alberto Accardi, +83 more
TL;DR: In this article, the science case of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), focused on the structure and interactions of gluon-dominated matter, with the intent to articulate it to the broader nuclear science community, is presented.

Glauber Modeling in High Energy Nuclear Collisions

TL;DR: A review of the theoretical background, experimental techniques, and phenomenology of what is called the "Glauber Model" in relativistic heavy ion physics is presented in this article, with emphasis on its development into the purely classical, geometric picture that is used for present-day data analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drag force in AdS/CFT

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the AdS/CFT correspondence and a classical test string approximation to calculate the drag force on an external quark moving in a thermal plasma of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory.

Confinement of Quarks

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how to quantize a gauge field theory on a discrete lattice in Euclidean space-time, preserving exact gauge invariance and treating the gauge fields as angular variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

$J/\psi$ Suppression by Quark-Gluon Plasma Formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature dependence of the screening radius, as obtained from lattice QCD, is compared with the J/ψ radius calculated in charmomium models, and the feasibility to detect this effect clearly in the dilepton mass spectrum is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions: The central rapidity region

TL;DR: In this paper, the space-time evolution of the hadronic matter produced in the central rapidity region in extreme relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is described, based on the existence of a flat central plateau and on the applicability of hydrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

QCD and instantons at finite temperature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a topological classification of finite-energy, periodic fields and the classical solutions which minimize the action in each topological sector are examined and the effects of instantons can be reliably calculated at sufficiently high temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

New forms of QCD matter discovered at RHIC

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that an equilibrated but strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma has been made in such collisions and that its source is a color glass condensate.
