What is relativistic heavy ion collision? More is different! Artist’s view of heavy ion collision High energy physics Proton-proton collisions Exclusive physics processes Gold High energy nuclear physics nucleus-nucleus collision Many body physics Nuclear Matter High energy condensed matter physics Fuqiang Wang Tsukuba Global Science Week 2016 Condensed matter physics ∞ body physics Physics is known 4 / 26
Why relativistic heavy ion collision? Phase diagram: how matter organizes itself at given degrees of freedom, e. g. water. QCD under extreme condition Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) The QCD phase diagram: structure of matter with quark and gluon (color) degrees of freedom. Fuqiang Wang Tsukuba Global Science Week 2016 5 / 26

Heavy quarks flow! • Heavy quarks produced early by hard scattering • Heavy, does not easily flow, not easily thermalized not fully thermalized? Even heavy quarks flow and nearly thermalized; light quarks must have been thermalized. Fuqiang Wang Tsukuba Global Science Week 2016 22 / 26
But there may be problems… proton LEAD • Yeah…p. Pb, even pp creates a QGP! • Maybe we need to rethink about the whole paradigm… Fuqiang Wang Tsukuba Global Science Week 2016 23 / 26

Summary • Relativistic heavy ion physics is a rich and vibrant field. QCD in matter under extremis. • The QCD matter is opaque to hard probes • The QCD matter is fluid/perfect/explosive, but small systems pose challenges Fuqiang Wang Tsukuba Global Science Week 2016 26 / 26
