Quantum Chromodynamics • Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the established theory of strongly interacting matter. • Gluons hold quarks together to from hadrons: • Gluons and quarks, or partons, typically exist in a color singlet state: confinement. meson baryon

Pressure, Flow, … • Thermodynamic identity • – entropy p – pressure U – energy V – volume t = kBT, thermal energy per dof • In A+A collisions, interactions among constituentsand density distribution lead to: pressure gradient collective flow • number of degrees of freedom (dof) • Equation of State (EOS) • cumulative – partonic + hadronic
More central collisions Protons From RHIC • In central collisions, spectrum becomes more concave collective flow ! • Flow velocity <b> = 0.60 ± 0.05 in most central collisions

Higgs mass: electro-weak symmetry breaking. (current quark mass) • QCD mass: Chiral symmetry breaking. (constituent quark mass) • Strong interactions do not affect heavy-quark masses. • Important tool for studying properties of the hot/dense medium at RHIC. • Test pQCD predictions at RHIC and LHC.
