Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter

Pleanary

We discuss the continuing refinements in using using photons, jets, and heavy quarks as probes of relativistic heavy ion collisions and quark gluon plasma. We discuss a simple model which provides an quantitative explanation of jet quenching and helps us obtain the flavour dependence of energy loss of partons in quark gluon plasma.

Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter

Pleanary

Viscous hydrodynamical modeling of relativistic heavy ion collisions has been highly successful in explaining bulk of the experimental data in RHIC and LHC energy collisions. We briefly review viscous hydrodynamics modeling of high energy nuclear collisions. Basic ingredients of the modeling, the hydrodynamic equations, relaxation equations for dissipative forces initial conditions,...

Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter

Pleanary

Relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) is a dedicated facility to collide heavy-ions at relativistic speed. Within first few years of its running, RHIC discovered the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), a hot and dense matter. After confirming the existence of QGP, experiments at RHIC now concentrate on studying the properties of QGP and understanding the phase structure of QCD. In this talk, I...
