Abstract: | Experimental results concerning heavy-ion collisions studied by means of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at an
energy of 100 GeV per nucleon and showing manifestations of collective effects are surveyed. These effects are interpreted
as a consequence of the formation of a dense thermalized medium referred to as quark-gluon plasma (strongly interacting quark-gluon
plasma, quark-gluon matter, parton medium). An azimuthal anisotropy of particles, the suppression of the particle yield at
high transverse momenta in relation to proton-proton collisions, and a change in the shape of the peak from a hadron jet in
nucleus-nucleus collisions are spectacular manifestations of collective effects. |
