“…A short introduction with references to the approaches at RHIC is given in Reference 41; for more details on similar approaches at the LHC, we refer the reader to References 172 and 173 for ALICE, Reference 174 for CMS, and Reference 175 for ATLAS. Alternative centrality estimators based on the transverse energy measured at forward rapidities (approximately 3 < |η| < 5 for CMS and ATLAS), as well as far-forward neutral energy in zero degree calorimeters (ZDCs) along the beam line (172,176), have also been employed. The same methods can be applied to determine the centrality in pA or d+Au collisions (177-179).…”

We review the theoretical and experimental progress in the Glauber model of multiple nucleon and/or parton scatterings after the last 10–15 years of operation with proton and nuclear beams at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The main developments and the state of the art of the field are summarized. These encompass measurements of the inclusive inelastic proton and nuclear cross sections, advances in the description of the proton and nuclear density profiles and their fluctuations, inclusion of subnucleonic degrees of freedom, experimental procedures and issues related to the determination of the collision centrality, validation of the binary scaling prescription for hard scattering cross sections, and constraints on transport properties of quark–gluon matter from varying initial-state conditions in relativistic hydrodynamics calculations. These advances confirm the validity and usefulness of the Glauber formalism for quantitative studies of quantum chromodynamics matter produced in high-energy collisions of systems, from protons to uranium nuclei, of vastly different size. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, Volume 71 is September 2021.

We review the theoretical and experimental progress in the Glauber model of multiple nucleon and/or parton scatterings, after the last 10-15 years of operation with proton and nuclear beams at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and with various light and heavy colliding ions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The main developments and the state-of-the-art of the field are summarized. These encompass measurements of the inclusive inelastic proton and nuclear cross sections, advances in the description of the proton and nuclear density profiles and their fluctuations, inclusion of subnucleonic degrees of freedom, experimental procedures and issues related to the determination of the collision centrality, validation of the binary scaling prescription for hard scattering cross sections, and constraints on transport properties of quark-gluon matter from varying initialstate conditions in relativistic hydrodynamics calculations. These advances confirm the validity and usefulness of the Glauber formalism for quantitative studies of QCD matter produced in high-energy collisions of systems, from protons to uranium nuclei, of vastly different size.
