Experimental exploration of the QCD phase diagram
A. Andronic, P. Braun-Munzinger, K. Redlich +1
The different phases of strongly interacting matter are governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). At high temperature and/or density a deconfined, chirally symmetric phase of quark…

Heavy-quark azimuthal momentum correlations as a sensitive probe of thermalization
G. Tsiledakis, H. Appelshaeuser, K. Schweda +1
In high-energy nuclear collisions the degree of thermalization at the partonic level is a key issue. Due to their large mass, heavy quarks and their possible participation in the c…

We report a measurement of meson production in central Pb+Au collisions at E/A=158 GeV. For the first time in heavy-ion collisions, mesons were reconstructed in the…
Has the Quark-Gluon Plasma been seen?
Johanna Stachel
Data from the first three years of running at RHIC are reviewed and put into context with data obtained previously at the AGS and SPS and with the physics question of creation of a…
