Concepts of Heavy-Ion Physics
Ulrich W. Heinz
In these lectures I present the key ideas driving the field of relativistic heavy-ion physics and develop some of the theoretical tools needed for the description and interpretatio…
Two RHIC puzzles: Early thermalization and the HBT problem
Ulrich W. Heinz, Peter F. Kolb
Hadron spectra from the first year RHIC run are shown to be excellently reproduced by hydrodynamic calculations. We argue that in particular the elliptic flow data provide strong e…
Multi-Boson Effects in Bose-Einstein Interferometry
Ulrich Heinz
Multi-boson symmetrization effects on two-particle Bose-Einstein interferometry are studied for ensembles with arbitrary multiplicity distributions. In the general case one finds i…
Hunting down the quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Ulrich Heinz
The present status of the heavy-ion program to search for quark-gluon plasma is reviewed. The goal of this program is to recreate the Big Bang in the laboratory, by generating smal…
Hanbury Brown - Twiss Interferometry in High Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics
Ulrich Heinz
I review recent applications of two-particle intensity interferometry in high energy physics, concentrating on relativistic heavy ion collisions. By measuring hadronic single-parti…
Subthreshold Antiproton Spectra in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Richard Wittmann, Ulrich Heinz
We study the structure of antiproton spectra at extreme subthreshold bombarding energies using a thermodynamic picture. Antiproton production processes and final state interactions…
