Charmonium suppression is a promising signal of quark-gluon plasma. In this volume, the latest development both in experiments and in the theory of charmonium production in high-energy nuclear collisions are presented and discussed.

This book, the sixth volume in a series on Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) research, offers updated reviews on theoretical developments and phenomenological understanding of the hot and dense matter formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Authored by leading experts in the field, it delves into how these advancements help shed light on the recent data emerging from the experiments conducted at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Despite setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the book explores a multitude of recent progresses, including insights into jet measurements, study of hydrodynamization in QGP, flow measurements in large and small systems, spin polarization and chiral magnetic effect in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Additionally, the book features a timely review of the QCD phase diagram in light of the new data collected at the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC. Furthermore, it includes a chapter on the growing role of machine learning in analyzing and interpretating complex data. Written carefully with detailed analyses and expert reviews, Quark-Gluon Plasma 6 stands as an invaluable reference for individuals engaged in the field.

This is a review monograph on quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Different theoretical and experimental aspects of the program to produce QGP in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are covered by experts in the field. This is the third volume in a series on the subject, and the first such monograph to focus on the implications of the experimental results from RHIC, the relativistic heavy-ion collider at the National Brookhaven Laboratory. The review articles will be useful to experienced researchers as well as to graduate students entering the field.

This is a review volume containing articles written by experts on current theoretical topics in the subject of Quark-Gluon Plasma created in heavy-ion collisions at high energy. It is the fourth volume in the series with the same title sequenced numerically. The articles are written in a pedagogical style so that they can be helpful to a wide range of researchers from graduate students to mature physicists who have not worked previously on the subject. A reader should be able to learn from the reviews without having extensive knowledge of the background literature.
