A guide to microscopic models for intermediate energy heavy ion collisions
George F. Bertsch,S. Das Gupta +1 more
TL;DR: In the last few years heavy ion experiments have addressed key questions regarding the behavior of nuclear matter at high excitation and density as discussed by the authors, which has been achieved by the formulation of calculational tools to apply microscopic models to experimental observables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relativistic mean-field description of nuclei and nuclear dynamics
TL;DR: The relativistic mean field model of the nucleus is reviewed in this article, where the meson fields are treated as mean fields, i.e. as nonquantal c-number fields, and the effect of the Dirac sea of the nucleons is neglected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pion degrees of freedom in nuclear matter
TL;DR: In this paper, a review mainly concentrates on the properties of pion degrees of freedom in nuclear and neutron matter, and deals with various phenomena in atomic nuclei and neutron stars for which pion mode softening plays an important part.

Signatures of quark-gluon plasma formation in high energy heavy-ion collisions: a critical review
Steffen A. Bass,Steffen A. Bass,Miklos Gyulassy,Miklos Gyulassy,Horst Stöcker,Walter Greiner +5 more
TL;DR: A critical review on signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation is given and the current (1998) experimental status is discussed in this paper, where the authors focus on observables which may yield experimental evidence for QGP formation.

Strange Condensate Realignment in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Ann E. Nelson,David B. Kaplan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new phase of matter may form in heavy ion collisions at baryon densities above three to four times nuclear density, characterized by a Bose-Einstein condensate of kaons or etas.

Strangeness Production in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Johann Rafelski,Berndt Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical equilibrium time for gluons and light quarks was found to be less than 10−24$ sec in high-energy nuclear collisions, and the strangeness abundance saturates during the lifetime of the plasma created in high energy nuclear collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear Shock Waves in Heavy-Ion Collisions
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nuclear matter is compressed during the encounter of heavy ions, and if the relative velocity of the nuclei is larger than the velocity of first sound in nuclear matter (compression sound for isospin $T=0$), nuclear shock waves occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic theory of pion production and sidewards flow in heavy-ion collisions.
TL;DR: A microscopic theory is presented which explains for the first time simultaneously both the observed collective flow and the pion multiplicity and gives their dependence on the nuclear equation of state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a Soft Nuclear-Matter Equation of State
TL;DR: The entropy of the fireball formed in central collisions of heavy nuclei at center-of-mass kinetic energies of a few hundred MeV per nucleon is estimated from the ratio of deuterons to protons at large transverse momentum as mentioned in this paper.
