An overview of the experimental study of quark-gluon matter in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions

Abstract

An overview is given on the experimental study of quark-gluon matter produced in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, with emphasis on recent measurements at the Large Hadron Collider.

31 pages, 20 figures; invited review in Int. J. Mod. Phys. A; based on an overview talk at the Lepton-Photon 2013 conference
