We discuss hadron production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. We argue that hadrons at transverse momenta P_T < 5 GeV are formed by recombination of partons from the dense parton phase created in central collisions at RHIC. We provide a theoretical description of the recombination process for P_T > 2 GeV. Below P_T = 2 GeV our results smoothly match a purely statistical description. At high transverse momentum hadron production is well described in the language of perturbative QCD by the fragmentation of partons. We give numerical results for a variety of hadron spectra, ratios and nuclear suppression factors. We also discuss the anisotropic flow v_2 and give results based on a flow in the parton phase. Our results are consistent with the existence of a parton phase at RHIC hadronizing at a temperature of 175 MeV and a radial flow velocity of 0.55c.

  1. Bayesian Inference of Heavy-Quark Dissipation and Jet Transport Parameters from D-Meson observables in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC energies

    nucl-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.

  2. Heavy quark coalescence probability in the presence of a potential

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Including a phenomenological heavy-light quark potential in the coalescence model enhances the heavy-quark coalescence probability to near unity at low momentum without ad hoc normalization.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Event-shape engineering via q2 selection in 0-10% and 30-50% Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV is shown to separate geometry-driven flow from hadronization-time effects, producing a positive growing Δv2(D0-Ds+) and species...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequential hadronization in a transport model predicts D0 > Ds+ v2 splitting in O-O collisions at 5.36 TeV, reproduces ALICE ordering, and identifies a linear scaling of the splitting with partonic flow accumulated be...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequential hadronization predicts v2(D0) > v2(Ds+) from extra partonic flow accumulated by D0 parents between 1.2 Tc and Tc, with universal linear scaling of the hadronic splitting across O-O and Pb-Pb systems.

    PHQMD simulations with momentum-dependent potentials show that a soft momentum-dependent EoS calibrated to pA data reproduces experimental proton and cluster flows at midrapidity better than static EoS variants, while...
