The QGP Discovered at RHIC
Miklos Gyulassy
TL;DR
The paper presents converging empirical evidence from RHIC experiments indicating the discovery of a strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma through collective flow, jet quenching, and control experiments.
Contribution
It provides the first comprehensive experimental confirmation of the Quark Gluon Plasma at RHIC using multiple independent measurements.
Findings
Observation of bulk collective elliptic flow
Detection of jet quenching and mono-jet suppression
Control experiment with D+Au collisions confirming the QGP signature
Abstract
Three empirical lines of evidence from RHIC have converged and point to the discovery of a strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma. The evidence includes (1) bulk collective elliptic flow and (2) jet quenching and mono-jet production, observed in Au+Au collisions at 200 AGeV, and (3) a critical control experiment using D+Au at 200 AGeV.
