High-Energy Particle Collisions Research

High-Energy Particle Collisions Research is a research topic within Nuclear and High Energy Physics. Science Explorer counts 56k research works in it since 1950. 42.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the experimental and theoretical challenges in the search for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions, particularly at RHIC. It covers topics such as chiral magnetic effect, color glass condensate, hydrodynamics, lattice QCD, viscous fluid dynamics, anomalous transport, and the phase diagram of dense QCD matter.
