Quark fluids in heavy ion collisions
Abstract
We give a pedagogical introduction (suitable to upper level physics undergraduates) to the field of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. We pay particular attention to our understanding of the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic properties of the matter created in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies.
