Heavy Ion Collisions: The Big Picture, and the Big Questions

TL;DR: The physics of heavy ion collisions quickly form a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with a remarkably small viscosity as discussed by the authors, which is perhaps the simplest form of complex quantum matter that we know of.

Pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles from Au+Au collisions at the maximum RHIC energy

TL;DR: For the 197Au+197Au reaction at square root[s(NN)] = 200 GeV, the particle multiplicities as a function of pseudorapidity and collision centrality were derived in this article.

Dynamical initial-state model for relativistic heavy-ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully three-dimensional model providing initial conditions for energy and net-baryon density distributions in heavy-ion collisions at arbitrary collision energy, including the dynamical deceleration of participating nucleons or valence quarks.

Relativistic nuclear collisions: Establishing a non-critical baseline for fluctuation measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of global baryon number conservation on the non-critical baseline of net proton cumulants in heavy-ion collisions in a given acceptance was studied.

Coupling constant corrections in a holographic model of heavy ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, a holographic study of coupling-dependent heavy ion collisions was conducted by analyzing the effects of leading-order, inverse coupling constant corrections in a theory with curvature-squared terms.

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.

HIGING: A Monte Carlo model for multiple jet production in pp, pA, and AA collisions.

TL;DR: A Monte Carlo event generator HIJING is developed to study jet and multiparticle production in high energy {ital pp, {ital pA}, and {ital AA} collisions, and a schematic mechanism of jet interactions in dense matter is described.
