The Next Yukawa Phase of QCD at RHIC
Abstract
QCD predicts the existence of a new partonic Yukawa phase above a critical temperature Tc 150 MeV. I review some of the key observables which will be used in heavy ion reactions to search for this new phase at RHIC. Systematics of collective observables (Nch,E), flow patterns, meson interferometry, jet quenching, and J/ suppression are discussed. This talk is updated with the first data from RHIC.
