Evidence for a New State of Matter: An Assessment of the Results from the CERN Lead Beam Programme
The year 1994 marked the beginning of the CERN lead beam programme. A beam of 33 TeV (or 160 GeV per nucleon) lead ions from the SPS now extends the CERN relativistic heavy ion programme, started in…
Hydrodynamic description of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
Relativistic hydrodynamics has been extensively applied to high energy heavy-ion collisions. We review hydrodynamic calculations for Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies and provide a comprehensive…
Collective Flow and Viscosity in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
- U. Heinz, R. Snellings
- Physics
- 13 January 2013
We review collective flow, its anisotropies, and its event-to-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, as well as the extraction of the specific shear viscosity of quark–gluon plasma…
Applying Bayesian parameter estimation to relativistic heavy-ion collisions: simultaneous characterization of the initial state and quark-gluon plasma medium
- J. Bernhard, J. Moreland, S. Bass, Jia Liu, U. Heinz
- Physics

We quantitatively estimate properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions utilizing Bayesian statistics and a multiparameter model-to-data comparison. The…
Coalescence and flow in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
- R. Scheibl, U. Heinz
- Physics
- 30 September 1998
Using a density matrix approach to describe the process of coalescence, we calculate the coalescence probabilities and invariant momentum spectra for deuterons and antideuterons. We evaluate our…

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark–gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC. It currently involves…
Anisotropic transverse flow and the quark-hadron phase transition
- P. Kolb, J. Sollfrank, U. Heinz
- Physics
- 13 June 2000
We use (3+1)-dimensional hydrodynamics with exact longitudinal boost-invariance to study the influence of collision centrality and initial energy density on the transverse flow pattern and the…
Early Collective Expansion: Relativistic Hydrodynamics and the Transport Properties of QCD Matter
- U. Heinz
- Physics
- 28 January 2009
Relativistic hydrodynamics for ideal and viscous fluids is discussed as a tool to describe relativistic heavy-ion collisions and to extract transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma from…
