Abstract:We discuss recent results from RHIC. Issues of energy loss and partonic collectivity from Au + Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV are the focus of this paper. We propose a path toward the understanding of the partonic Equation of State in high energy nuclear collisions.
IntroductionThe purpose of the heavy ion program at Brookhaven National Laboratory is to probe strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, i.e. at high densities and temperatures. Naturally the search for the existence of a new form of… Show more
