Properties of hot and dense matter from relativistic heavy ion collisions
We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense
matter from relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion
collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the large hadron collider
(LHC) at CERN. We focus on bulk properties of the medium, in particular the
evidence for thermalization, aspects of the equation of state, transport
properties, as well as fluctuations and correlations. We also discuss the
in-medium properties of hadrons with light and heavy quarks, and measurements
of dileptons and quarkonia. This review is dedicated to the memory of Gerald E.

Dyson-Schwinger Equations: Density, Temperature and Continuum Strong QCD
Continuum strong QCD is the application of models and continuum quantum field
theory to the study of phenomena in hadronic physics, which includes; e.g., the
spectrum of QCD bound states and their interactions; and the transition to, and
properties of, a quark gluon plasma. We provide a contemporary perspective,
couched primarily in terms of the Dyson-Schwinger equations but also making
comparisons with other approaches and models. Our discourse provides a
practitioners' guide to features of the Dyson-Schwinger equations [such as
confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking] and canvasses
phenomenological applications to light meson and baryon properties in cold,
sparse QCD. These provide the foundation for an extension to hot, dense QCD,
which is probed via the introduction of the intensive thermodynamic variables:
chemical potential and temperature. We describe order parameters whose
evolution signals deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration, and chronicle
their use in demarcating the quark gluon plasma phase boundary and
characterising the plasma's properties. Hadron traits change in an equilibrated
plasma. We exemplify this and discuss putative signals of the effects. Finally,
since plasma formation is not an equilibrium process, we discuss recent
developments in kinetic theory and its application to describing the evolution
from a relativistic heavy ion collision to an equilibrated quark gluon plasma.Comment: 103 Pages, LaTeX, epsfig. To appear in Progress in Particle and
