We present the historical antecedents to the field of relativistic heavy ion physics, beginning with early attempts to model the strong interaction and ending with the endorsement of a relativistic heavy ion collider in the 1983 U.S.…

In the past decade the observation of cross section modification for leading hadrons, heavy flavor and two particle correlations in heavy ion collisions has provided important insights into the dynamics of parton propagation in dense…

An overview of new experimental results on high-\pT{} particle production and jets in heavy ion collisions from the Quark Matter 2006 conference is presented.

This chapter provides an introduction to collider phenomenology, explaining how theoretical concepts are translated into experimental analyses at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Beginning with the principles of collider operation and…

We discuss a number of prominent theoretical challenges in the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, and review some recent attempts to tackle them. These examples cover most stages of the collision process, but emphasis is…

This is a mini-review of recent theoretical work in the field of relativistic heavy ion physics. The following topics are discussed: initial conditions and the Color Glass Condensate; approach to thermalization and the hydrodynamical…

Some ideas/concepts in relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed. To a large extent, the discussions are non-comprehensive and non-rigorous. It is intended for fresh graduate students of Homi Bhabha National Institute, Kolkata Centre,…

Heavy ion collisions are rich and complex systems that involve different aspects of QCD and electromagnetic phenomena. From head-on collisions to the case in which the nuclei miss each other, many of QCD and photo-induced probes are being…

The aim of high energy nuclear collisions is to study the transition from hadronic matter to a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. I review the basic questions of this search and summarize recent theoretical developments in the field.

Starting in two years from now, particle physics will enter a new regime in terms of energies and luminosities, thanks to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This report summarizes the status of the preparations, both for the machine…

The field of relativistic heavy ion physics has seen significant advancement in the new millennium toward a greater understanding of QCD at high temperatures with the commissioning and operation of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Here…

This talk discusses extrapolations to the LHC of several, apparently universal trends, seen in the data on relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions up to RHIC energies. In the soft physics sector, such extrapolations to the LHC are typically…

Qualitative and quantitative similarities as a function of the system size in heavy ion collisions from low energy dissipative collisions, collective expansion of compressed baryonic matter up to the geometrical scaling evidenced at the…

Various aspects of the current status of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Perspectives of heavy ion physics in the future are given as well.

We review some of the recent progress in our understanding of the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions due to applications of AdS/CFT correspondence.

The talk is a brief overview of what we recently learned about excited hadronic matter from heavy ion collisions. The central issue is that the systems produced do exhibit macroscopic behavior, it flows and we start getting some idea about…

Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral collisions. They give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with high flux up to an invariant mass region hitherto unexplored…

The goal of the ultra-relativistic heavy ion program is to study Quantum Chromodynamics under finite temperature and density conditions. After a couple of decades of experiment, the focus at the top RHIC and the LHC energy has evolved to…

High energy particle colliders have been in the forefront of particle physics for more than three decades. At present the near term US, European and international strategies of the particle physics community are centered on full…

We discuss geometrical scaling (GS) for the prompt (direct) photons produced in heavy ion collisions. To this end we first introduce the concept of GS and illustrate its emergence on the example of charged particles. Next, we analyse direct…
