High Energy Nuclear Collisions
Highlights of the results from ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at CERN-SPS are reviewed. In particular, I discuss how the experimental results indicate that a collective strongly interacting system has been produced, and what are the implications towards the Quark Gluon Plasma. The physical ideas behind measuring certain observables are introduced. The future program of high energy nucle...
متن کاملGlauber Modeling in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
We review the theoretical background, experimental techniques, and phenomenology of what is known in relativistic heavy ion physics as the Glauber model, which is used to calculate geometric quantities. A brief history of the original Glauber model is presented, with emphasis on its development into the purely classical, geometric picture used for present-day data analyses. Distinctions are mad...
متن کاملThermal dileptons in high-energy nuclear collisions
Clear signs of excess dileptons above the known sources were found at the SPS since long. However, a real clarification of these observations was only recently achieved by NA60, measuring dimuons with unprecedented precision in 158A GeV In-In collisions. The excess mass spectrum in the region M<1 GeV is consistent with a dominant contribution from ππ → ρ → μμ annihilation. The associated ρ spec...
متن کاملChemical Nonequilibrium in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
Strange particles produced in S–Au/W/Pb 200 A GeV and Pb–Pb 158 A GeV reactions are described invoking final hadronic phase space in thermal equilibrium, but allowing chemical non-equilibrium. Several sets of statistical freeze-out parameters are obtained for each system, invoking different models of dense matter. We show that only when allowing for strange and non-strange flavor abundance non-...
متن کاملMaking glue in high energy nuclear collisions
We discuss a real time, non–perturbative computation of the transverse dynamics of gluon fields at central rapidities in very high energy nuclear collisions.
