60 Quiz 1 in the QCD phase diagram some points labeled Heavy-Ion Experiments are shown. How are those points measured or determined? 2 what indicates that there is a collective fluid-like behavior of the hot and dense medium created in HICs? 3 how do we explain the elliptic flow, v 2, of hadrons in HICs? 4 why do we believe that the QGP is really created in HICs and why do we think it s the most perfect fluid ever observed? 5 which important theoretical quantity can be measured by observing electromagnetic probes in HICs (and elementary reactions)? 6 what is chiral-symmetry restoration and in which ways could it be realized in nature? 7 what can we learn from QCD sum rules about χsr? 8 what tell effective hadronic models about the medium modification of light vector mesons and the related χsr? 9 what s basic assumption of the vector-meson dominance (VMD) model? 10 why is the simple πρ model insufficient to explain the dilepton data in HICs? 11 why are baryon-vector-meson interactions important even at high collision energies, where µ B 0 (nearly 0 net-baryon density)?
