Hadronization in heavy-ion collisions: recombination and fragmentation of partons

RJ Fries, B Müller, C Nonaka, SA Bass - Physical Review Letters, 2003 - APS
We argue that the emission of hadrons with transverse momentum up to about 5 G e V/c in
central relativistic heavy ion collisions is dominated by recombination, rather than …

The color glass condensate and high energy scattering in QCD

E Iancu, R Venugopalan - Quark–Gluon Plasma 3, 2004 - World Scientific
At very high energies or small values of Bjorken x, the density of partons, per unit transverse
area, in hadronic wavefunctions becomes very large leading to a saturation of partonic …

Hadron production in heavy ion collisions: Fragmentation and recombination from a dense parton phase

RJ Fries, B Müller, C Nonaka, SA Bass - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2003 - APS
We discuss hadron production in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC). We argue that hadrons at transverse momenta PT< 5 GeV are formed by …

Parton coalescence at RHIC

V Greco, CM Ko, P Levai - arXiv preprint nucl-th/0305024, 2003 - arxiv.org
Using a covariant coalescence model, we study hadron production in relativistic heavy ion
collisions from both soft partons in the quark-gluon plasma and hard partons in minijets …

Hydrodynamic description of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

PF Kolb, U Heinz - Quark–Gluon Plasma 3, 2004 - World Scientific
Relativistic hydrodynamics has been extensively applied to high energy heavy-ion
collisions. We review hydrodynamic calculations for Au+ Au collisions at RHIC energies and …

Multiple interactions and the structure of beam remnants

T Sjöstrand, PZ Skands - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent experimental data have established some of the basic features of multiple
interactions in hadron-hadron collisions. The emphasis is therefore now shifting, to one of …

Observable implications of geometrical and dynamical aspects of freeze-out in heavy ion collisions
