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.

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.

Collective Flow and Viscosity in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

TL;DR: In this article, collective flow, its anisotropies, and its event-to-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, as well as the extraction of the specific shear viscosity of quark-gluon plasma from collective flow data collected in heavy ion collision experiments at RHIC and the LHC are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

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

Semihard processes in QCD

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of parton-parton interactions (screenings), that stop the increase of the cross sections near their unitarity limit, and the coherent emission of soft gluons by the global colour charge of whole groups of harder particles, are studied in detail.

Computing quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei.

TL;DR: It is argued that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small {ital x} for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized, and that weak coupling methods may be used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei at small transverse momentum.

TL;DR: It is shown that the gluon distribution function for very large nuclei may be computed for small transverse momentum as correlation functions of an ultraviolet finite two-dimensional Euclidean field theory.

Gluon Recombination and Shadowing at Small Values of x

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Altarelli-Parisi equation expressing this recombination was given, and it was shown that recombination is very small compared to normal evolution in all interesting circumstances except that of nuclear shadowing.
