▪ Abstract This review describes the current status of the heavy ion research program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The new suite of experiments and the collider energies have opened up new probes of the medium created in the collisions. Our review focuses on the experimental discoveries to date at RHIC and their interpretation in light of the field's present theoretical understanding of the dynamics of relativistic heavy ion collisions and of the structure of strongly interacting matter at high energy density.

- Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions (2018, background): “This phase, called quark-gluon plasma (QGP) [119, 120, 121, 122] persists for only a few times 10−23 seconds and exhibits fluid properties with exceptionally low viscosity [123, 124, 125, 126, 127] and exceptionally high vorticity [128, 129].”
- Multiplicity dependence of pion, kaon, proton and lambda production in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV (2013, background): “The initial hot and dense partonic matter rapidly expands and cools down, ultimately undergoing a transition to a hadron gas phase [5].”
