Why does the quark–gluon plasma at RHIC behave as a nearly ideal fluid?
Open accessAbstract
Abstract This article gives a brief review in the following areas. (i) Collective flow phenomena in heavy ion collisions. The data from RHIC indicate robust collective flows, well described by hydrodynamics with the expected equation of state. The transport properties turned out to be unexpected, with very small viscosity. (ii) The physics of highly excited matter produced in heavy ion collisions at T c T T c , different from that of weakly coupled quark–gluon plasma because of the relatively strong coupling generating bound states of quasiparticles. (iii) Wider discussion of other “strongly coupled systems”, including strongly coupled supersymmetric theories studied via Maldacena duality, as well as recent progress as regards trapped atoms with very large scattering lengths.

“Considerations such as these have led some authors [24,25] to denote quark-gluon plasma in this regime as “sQGP” for “strongly interacting QGP”.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
