This talk reviews progress reported at Quark-Matter 2001 on various theoretical aspects of the quark-gluon plasma and discusses how the new results obtained at RHIC change the standard picture of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus…
Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes three) fragments which will subsequently decay by emitting…
