About This Special Issue
In the collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic energies, extreme states of strongly interacting matter are expected to be produced and experimental facilities available at various laboratories world wide enable us to investigate the properties of QCD matter formed during collision. The properties of such a state are governed by the rules of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this regard, bulk properties of the QCD state and the precise knowledge of underlying dynamical processes in its formation is being carried out widely on both the experimental and theoretical fronts. Our special issue put efforts in this regard to better our understanding by research investigations. Measurements on the production of bulk particles and the role of initial state configuration of the colliding nuclei on the final state anisotropy are our main goal. Bulk properties of the collision system such as all the momentum spectra and correlations of all produced hadrons, rapidity distribution, flow properties, the role of system size and beam energies and orientation of colliding nuclei and their effect on final state particles are important aspects. Disentanglement of the possible CME signal and other flow related backgrounds on the charged particle multiplicity is another important aspect of nuclear collisions. The experimental investigations for the Chiral Magnetic Effect have been investigated at RHIC and the LHC energies. Our special issue is intended to address these aspects in much more details.
