From many body wee parton dynamics to perfect fluid: a standard model for heavy ion collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-12-27 v2 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We discuss a standard model of heavy ion collisions that has emerged both from the experimental results of the RHIC program and associated theoretical developments. We comment briefly on the impact of early results of the LHC program on this picture. We consider how this standard model of heavy ion collisions could be solidified or falsified in future experiments at RHIC, the LHC and a future Electron-Ion Collider.
