This "position paper" collects the scientific arguments behind the CERN Press Release of February 10, 2000, which announced evidence for the creation of a new state of matter in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. The data on which this paper is based were presented in a special seminar at CERN on the same day, a recording of which can be accessed at http://www.cern.ch/CERN/Announcements/2000/NewStateMatter/ .

  3. Jet Quenching Identification via Supervised Learning in Simulated Heavy-Ion Collisions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

  4. The Scaffold Effect: How Prompt Framing Drives Apparent Multimodal Gains in Clinical VLM Evaluation

    cs.AI 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Merely mentioning MRI availability in the prompt drives 70-80% of apparent multimodal F1 gains in clinical VLMs, even when no imaging is present.

  5. Energy loss of heavy-flavor quarks in color string medium

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.

  6. Measurement of inclusive $J/\psi$ production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 54.4$ GeV at STAR

    nucl-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new 54.4 GeV Au+Au measurement finds significant J/psi suppression with no energy dependence of R_AA from 17.3 to 200 GeV within uncertainties.

  7. Quark-Gluon Plasma as a Quantum Channel: Entanglement, Decoherence, and Hadronization

    nucl-th 2025-07 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A toy model treats QGP effects as a composite quantum channel and claims that monotonic entanglement loss supports a noisy-channel picture of hadronization.

  8. Toward a Unified Understanding of the Dense Matter Equation of State

    nucl-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review of three Bayesian/computational frameworks for combining heavy-ion and astrophysical constraints on the dense-matter equation of state, plus a proposed unified integration workflow.

  9. What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?

    nucl-th 2025-06 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    The quark-gluon plasma is best described as a strongly coupled liquid of massive, very short-lived quark and gluon quasiparticles, with sound (phonon) modes becoming the most well-defined collective excitation at low momenta.
