Probing the Fifth State of Matter with Relativistic Heavy Ions: A Theoretical Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the current status of lattice Monte-Carlo computations of the equation of state of QCD, our current understanding of the thermalization process at collider energies, and two new theoretical developments, one pertaining to the ab-initio calculation of the low-x gluon structure of heavy nuclei, the other to the chaotic behavior of QCD. At the end I give a brief overview of the status of various quark-gluon plasma signatures.

متن کاملInvestigation of Hot QCD Matter: Theoretical Aspects
This lecture presents an overview of the status of the investigation of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma using relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It focuses on the insights that have been obtained by the comparison between experimental data from both facilities and theoretical calculations. ar X iv :1 30 9...
متن کاملThree-Fluid Simulations of Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Probing Equation of State (EoS) of QCD matter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is still a fascinating problem inspiring new experimental projects [1]. Hydrodynamic models have an advantage that they directly address EoS of hot and dense nuclear matter, which is of prime interest for this domain of physics. We have developed 3D 3fluid relativistic hydrodynamic model [2, 3] for simulating hea...
متن کاملHeavy Ions at LHC: Theoretical Issues
We give a brief overview of our current theoretical understanding of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision and the properties of super-hot nuclear matter. We focus on several issues that have been discussed in connection with experimental results from the CERN SPS and from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC. We give an extrapolation of our current knowledge to LHC energies and ask which p...

This is a review of the physics prospects for relativistic heavy ion collisions in the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The motivation for the study of superdense matter created in relativistic heavy ion collision is the prospect of observing a novel state of strongly interacting matter, the quark-gluon plasma. Experiments at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Col...
