We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

This article reviews our present understanding of QCD spin physics: the proton spin puzzle
and new developments aimed at understanding the transverse structure of the nucleon …

Global polarization of Λ hyperons has been measured to be of the order of a few tenths of a
percentage in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV, with no significant difference between Λ …

The Λ (Λ¯) hyperon polarization along the beam direction has been measured in Au+ Au
collisions at s NN= 200 GeV, for the first time in heavy-ion collisions. The polarization …

We report the first results of elliptic (v 2), triangular (v 3), and quadrangular (v 4) flow of
charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of s NN …

We discuss the impact of recent high-statistics Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider data on the
determination of the gluon polarization in the proton in the context of a global QCD analysis …

We report the first measurement of the elliptic anisotropy (v 2) of the charm meson D 0 at
midrapidity (| y|< 1) in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV. The measurement was …

In this paper, we perform the first simultaneous QCD global analysis of data from semi-
inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, e+ e-annihilation into hadron pairs, and proton …

Abstract The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), with commissioning of the facility expected in late …

Global polarization of Ξ and Ω hyperons has been measured for the first time in Au+ Au
collisions at s NN= 200 GeV. The measurements of the Ξ-and Ξ¯+ hyperon polarization …
