THE SEARCH FOR THE QUARK-GLUON PLASMA
Open accessAbstract
▪ Abstract We provide an overview of the present understanding of the transition from hadrons to a quark-gluon plasma, its signatures, and the experimental results so far. We discuss results of numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory and critically evaluate the various observables that have been proposed as signatures of the QCD phase transition. We place the existing data from relativistic heavy-ion experiments at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) and CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) into perspective and provide an overview of the techniques and strategies that will be employed in the search for the quark-gluon plasma at heavy-ion colliders, such as the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Boost invariance along the longitudinal direction entails that ε, p, s, T are all functions of proper time only[123, 124].”

“In this description the dynamical evolution of the fluid is obtained from the conservation laws of energy-momentum, baryon number and entropy [67, 121, 124, 125] with an equation of state p = p ( ε ) to close the set of equations.”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Although the evolution of the quark gluon plasma from the initial state described by the parton distribution of the colliding nuclei until freeze-out of hadrons clearly requires a non-equilibrium description, a hydrodynamic picture of the evolution is both useful and experimentally relevant [124, 127].”

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.
