摘要
Three empirical lines of evidence (P-QCD, pQCD, dA) have converged and point to the discovery of a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) at RHIC. The evidence includes (1) bulk collective elliptic flow in agreement with hydrodynamic predictions based on PQCD, (2) jet quenching and mono-jet production in agreement with predictions based on radiative pQCD, and (3) a control experiment dA = D + Au that bounds uncertainties in Au+Au due to initial state interactions.
