Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and theoretical challenges in the search for the quark-gluon plasma: The STAR Collaboration's critical assessment of the evidence from RHIC collisions

Joseph Adams, +366 more
- 08 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the most important experimental results from the first three years of nucleus-nucleus collision studies at RHIC were reviewed, with emphasis on results of the STAR experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC

K. Aamodt, +1154 more
TL;DR: The Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic measurements of identified particle spectra in pp, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at the star detector.

B. I. Abelev, +370 more
- 03 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the charged-particle spectra at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) time projection chamber and reported the average transverse momenta, total particle production, particle yield ratios, strangeness, and baryon production rates as a function of collision system and centrality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Λ hyperon polarization in nuclear collisions

L. Adamczyk, +341 more
- 23 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an alignment between the global angular momentum of a non-central collision and the spin of emitted particles is presented, revealing that the fluid produced in heavy ion collisions is the most vortical system so far observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disappearance of back-to-back high-pT Hadron correlations in central Au + Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV

C. Adler, +303 more
TL;DR: The back-to-back correlations are reduced considerably in the most central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial interaction as the hard-scattered partons or their fragmentation products traverse the medium.
