نویسنده
چکیده
Collisions between heavy nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider liberate from the nuclear wavefunction of order 10,000 gluons, quarks and antiquarks. The system is dominated by gluons and up and down (anti) quarks. Heavy quarks, though having little effect on the overall equation of state, are critical as probes of the surrounding medium. We compare predictions from a scenario where the charm quarks escape the medium unaffected and fragment into hadrons in vacuum, and one where the charm quarks are swallowed up by the medium and reflect the overall system hydrodynamics.

I review how hydrodynamical flow is related to the observed flow in ul-trarelativistic heavy ion collisions and how initial conditions, equation of state and freeze-out temperature affect flow in hydrodynamical models.

Using the [SU(3)L × SU(3)R]global × [SU(3)V ]local chiral Lagrangian with hidden local symmetry, we evaluate the cross sections for the absorption of eta meson by pion, rho meson, kaon, and vector kaon, and find that except near threshold their values are about a few mb. Including these reactions in a kinetic model based on a schematic hydrodynamic description of relativistic heavy ion collisio...

Using a multiphase transport model (AMPT) with both partonic and hadronic interactions, we study the multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of charged particles such as pions, kaons and protons in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies. Effects due to nuclear shadowing and jet quenching on these observables are also studied. We further show preliminary results on the production o...

We review the current status of recombination and coalescence models that have been successfully applied to describe hadronization in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies. Basic concepts as well as actual implementations of the idea are discussed. We try to evaluate where we stand in our understanding at the moment and what remains to be done in the future.
