1211.3635 (Michael J. Tannenbaum)

Lessons from RHIC for the LHC and vice versa    [PDF]

Michael J. Tannenbaum
For the past decade, measurements of semi-inclusive single identified particle spectra and two particle correlations in p-p and A+A collisions at RHIC have produced a treasure trove of results which indicate that the medium produced in Au+Au collisions is a strongly interacting quark gluon liquid in which both light and heavy quarks are suppressed, presumably by energy loss in the hot, dense medium. These results have been confirmed in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC along with the addition of measurements of jets and di-jets. Results and methods at RHIC and LHC are compared which leads to some interesting conclusions.
