We discuss the basic ideas of relativistic transport models used for the interpretation and
description of experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at high collision energies. We …

In this review we address the dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion reactions and in particular
the information obtained from electromagnetic probes that stem from the partonic and …

The hadron string dynamics (HSD) model is generalized to include the creation and
evolution of retarded electromagnetic fields as well as the influence of the magnetic and …

We analyze the experimental hadron yield ratios for central nucleus–nucleus collisions in
terms of thermal model calculations over a broad energy range, sNN= 2.7–200 GeV. The fits …

The PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured
J/ψ production for rapidities-2.2< y< 2.2 in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV. The J/ψ …

A critical point (E) is expected in QCD on the temperature (T) versus baryonic chemical
potential (μ) plane. Using a recently proposed lattice method for μ≠ 0 we study dynamical …

Results on charged pion and kaon production in central Pb+ Pb collisions at 20 A and 30 A
GeV are presented and compared to data at lower and higher energies. Around 30 A GeV a …

The dynamics of partons, hadrons and strings in relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions is
analyzed within the novel Parton–Hadron–String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach …

We present a coupled Boltzmann and hydrodynamics approach to relativistic heavy ion
reactions. This hybrid approach is based on the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular …

A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on charm dynamics and
hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function …
