The pseudorapidity density (dN/deta) for p+p, p+A and A+A(B) collisions, and the mean multiplicity <Nch> for ee, ep, and p+p collisions, are studied for an inclusive range of beam energies (Root_s). Characteristic scaling patterns are…
The inclusive spectra so far accumulated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at energies of $\sqrt{s} = 56, 130$ and 200 GeV are examined within the hadronic simulation LUCIFER. What emerges at this juncture is a comprehensive and…

The nucleus-nucleus impact parameter and collision geometry of a heavy ion collision are typically characterized by assigning a collision "centrality". In all present heavy ion experiments centrality is measured indirectly, by detecting the…
Recent experimental results at both the LHC and RHIC show evidence for hydrodynamic behavior in proton-nucleus and deuteron- nucleus collisions (p+A). This unexpected finding has prompted new measurements in p+A collisions in order to…

Experimental evidence from RHIC indicates that matter having an energy density far in excess of the value required for the creation of a deconfined phase is produced in ultrarelativistic Au+Au collisions at a center of mass energy of 200…

The PHOBOS experiment at RHIC has measured the total multiplicity of primary charged particles as a function of collision centrality in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 19.6, 130 and 200 GeV. Above sqrt(s_NN) ~ 20 GeV, the total…
In relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions the transverse energy per charged particle, E_T/N_ch, increases rapidly with beam energy and remains approximately constant at about 800 MeV for beam energies from SPS to RHIC. It is shown that the…
