Discovery of Quark Gluon Plasma at RHIC
Recent experimental results from Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have shown the evidence of a new state of matter at high energy density. Physicists believe that the new state of matter is "Quark Gluon Plasma"(QGP) that they have been seeking for long time. This paper will survey both theoretical and experimental studies on QGP.
متن کاملThe quark-gluon plasma at RHIC
I present a theory-guided review of RHIC data, arguing that they provide strong evidence for formation of a thermalized quark-gluon plasma at RHIC. Strong radial flow reflects high thermal pressure in the reaction zone. Large elliptic flow proves that the pressure builds up quickly and the system thermalizes on a very short time scale of < 1 fm/c. The observed hadron yields are consistent with ...
متن کاملHeavy-Quark Probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC
Thermalization and collective flow of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks in ultra-relativistic heavyion collisions are evaluated based on elastic parton rescattering in an expanding quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We show that resonant interactions in a strongly interacting QGP (sQGP), as well as parton coalescence, can play an essential role in the interpretation of recent data from the Relativistic He...
متن کاملRHIC and the Quark Gluon Plasma
One of the American Institute of Physics’s top stories of the year 2005 was the discovery of the quark gluon plasma at RHIC. In this paper, the basic theory of the quark gluon plasma is reviewed, and the experimental evidence from RHIC discussed.
متن کاملPion interferometry at RHIC: porobing a thermalized quark-gluon plasma?
We calculate the Gaussian radius parameters of the pion-emitting source in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, assuming a first-order phase transition from a thermalized quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to a gas of hadrons. Such a model leads to a very long-lived dissipative hadronic rescattering phase which dominates the properties of the two-pion correlation functions. The radii are found to depend onl...
