We review hadron formation from a deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP) via coalescence or recombination of quarks and gluons. We discuss the abundant experimental evidence for coalescence from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and compare the various coalescence models advocated in the literature. We comment on the underlying assumptions and remaining challenges as well as the merits of the models. We conclude with a discussion of some recent developments in the field.

• Extraction of heavy-flavor transport coefficients in QCD matter (2018, methodology): “ence processes in heavy-ion collisions have been carried out with a spatially uniform (\global") distribution functions in 3-momentum space, amounting to an instantaneous approximation (see Ref. [77] for a review). This allowed for a successful description of the hadron-v2 and baryon-over-meson”
