Description
This book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in high energy heavy-ion physics. It is relevant for students who
will work on topics being explored at RHIC and the LHC.
In the first part, the basic principles of these studies are covered including
kinematics, cross sections (including the quark model and parton distribution functions), the geometry of nuclear collisions, thermodynamics,
hydrodynamics and relevant aspects of lattice gauge theory at finite temperature.
The second part covers some more specific probes
of heavy-ion collisions at these energies: high mass thermal dileptons, quarkonium and hadronization. The second part also serves as
extended examples of concepts learned in the previous part. Both parts contain examples in the text as well as exercises at the end of
each chapter.
Audience
This book is suitable for undergraduate, graduate students and newcomers to the field.
