We provide an overview of the present understanding of the transition from hadrons to a quark-gluon plasma, its signatures, and the experimental results so far. We discuss results of numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory and critically evaluate the various observables that have been proposed as signatures of the QCD phase transition. We place the existing data from relativistic heavy ion experiments at the Brookhaven AGS and CERN SPS into perspective and provide an overview of the techniques and strategies that will be employed in the search for the quark-gluon plasma at heavy ion colliders, such as RHIC and the LHC.

  1. Evidence for sequential $\Upsilon$(nS) suppression in light ion collisions

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First evidence of sequential Upsilon(nS) suppression in oxygen-oxygen and neon-neon collisions, with the Upsilon(3S)/Upsilon(2S) ratio reduced by 3.2 standard deviations.

  2. Neural network biased corrections: Cautionary study in background corrections for quenched jets

    physics.data-an 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neural network jet background corrections trained on unquenched jets are systematically biased for quenched jets, causing simulated RAA measurements to be up to 47% too low.

  3. Impact of particle production mechanisms on pseudorapidity distribution and directed flow in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 19.6 GeV using AMPT model

    nucl-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    String fragmentation parameters in the AMPT model change proton directed flow and its system-size dependence at 19.6 GeV, while leaving pions nearly unaffected.

  4. Examining hadronic resonance dynamics at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider: Insights from EPOS4

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    EPOS4 with a hadronic afterburner reproduces resonance suppression patterns, and the extracted hadronic phase lifetime increases with multiplicity and system size, remaining non-zero in high-multiplicity pp collisions.

  5. Spectra and elliptic flow of light hadrons in an expanding fire-cylinder model for the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

    nucl-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    An expanding fire-cylinder model fitted to pion pT spectra describes spectra of other light hadrons and qualitatively matches their elliptic flow in peripheral Au+Au collisions at BES energies.
