High Energy Nuclear Collisions: Theory Overview

Nuclear Theory 2010-12-20 v1

Abstract

We review some basic concepts of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics and discuss our understanding of some key results from the experimental program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We focus in particular on the early time dynamics of nuclear collisions, some result from lattice QCD, hard probes and photons.
