At the end of 2010, the CERN Large Hadron Collider started operation with heavy ion beams, colliding lead nuclei at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV/nucleon and opening a new era in ultra-relativistic heavy ion physics at energies exceeding previous accelerators by more than an order of magnitude. This review summarizes the results from the first year of heavy ion physics at LHC obtained by the three experiments participating in the heavy ion program, ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS.

  1. Thermal and geometric normal modes of spectral fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Principal component analysis of spectral fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions yields thermal and geometric normal modes that explain 99.5% of variance and account for measured flow observables v0(pT) and v02(pT).

  2. (3+1)D event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Extension of KoMPoST to (3+1)D non-boost-invariant pre-equilibrium dynamics via kinetic theory response functions, chained into a full McDIPPER+KoMPoST-3D+CLVisc+SMASH simulation chain to study sensitivity of longitud...

  3. A flow-matching generative model for event-by-event jet-induced hydro response in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A flow-matching generative model trained on CoLBT-hydro data conditionally generates marginal final-state hadron spectra from jet-induced hydro responses in 0-10% Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, matching training data s...

  4. Species-dependent viscous corrections at particlization: A novel relaxation time approximation approach

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A new RTA form with counter-terms yields species-dependent first-order viscous corrections that modify light-hadron yields and K/π, p/π ratios in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions.

  5. Equilibrated fraction of QCD matter in high-energy oxygen--oxygen collisions

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The equilibrated core in O+O collisions overtakes the nonequilibrium corona above midrapidity multiplicity of about 20, yet corona contributions persist in central events, making pure hydrodynamics inadequate.

  6. Beam-energy dependence of correlations between mean transverse momentum and anisotropic flow of charged particles in Au+Au collisions at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    STAR reports energy-dependent variances and covariances of [p_T] and v_n^2 in Au+Au collisions from 14.6 to 200 GeV, with the dimensionless ratio remaining similar across energies.

  7. Collective effects in O-O and Ne-Ne collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$=5.36 TeV from a hybrid approach

    nucl-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Predictions for collective flow in O-O collisions at 5.36 TeV are generated with SMASH-vHLLE hybrid, pure SMASH, and Angantyr models to probe the onset of QGP formation in small systems.
