Professor of Emeritus Wit Busza, along with Professor Krishna Rajagopal from Center of Theoretical at MIT, and Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Wilke van der Schee from Center of Theoretical Physics at MIT, were invited to write a review paper for Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science.
The preprint version of this paper, Heavy Ion Collisions: The Big Picture, and the Big Questions, is available on arXiv. This paper reviews the theoretical and experimental studies of relativistic heavy-ion physics at RHIC and LHC. It is an excellent introductory material for students to learn the physics motivations, general formulations, big questions, and future directions of relativistic heavy ion physics. We are proud of Wit’s great contributions in relativistic heavy-ion physics!
