Heavy-ion physics: freedom to do hot, dense, exciting QCD (2004.13812v1)
Published 28 Apr 2020 in nucl-th, hep-ph, and nucl-ex
Abstract: In these two lectures I review the basics of heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies and the physics we can do with them. I aim to cover the basics on the kinematics and observables in heavy-ion collider experiments, the basics on the phenomenology of the nuclear matter phase diagram, some of the model building and simulations currently used in the heavy-ion physics community and a selected list of amazing phenomenological discoveries and predictions.
