We review the main results obtained by the BRAHMS collaboration on the properties of hot and dense hadronic and partonic matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. A particular focus of this paper is to discuss to what extent the results collected so far by BRAHMS, and by the other three experiments at RHIC, can be taken as evidence for the formation of a state of deconfined partonic matter, the so called quark-gluon-plasma (QGP). We also discuss evidence for a possible precursor state to the QGP, i.e. the proposed Color Glass Condensate.

  1. Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.36$ TeV $^{16}$O$+^{16}$O and $^{20}$Ne$+^{20}$Ne collisions with the ATLAS detector

    nucl-ex 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First measurements of v_n (n=2-4) in 5.36 TeV O+O and Ne+Ne collisions show enhanced v2 in central neon collisions consistent with prolate nuclear deformation.

  2. Rotating synchrotron radiation: Photon emission from magnetized and rotating quark-gluon plasma

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rotation enhances synchrotron photon emission from negatively charged quarks in a magnetized QGP, producing a low-transverse-momentum v2 that can reduce the direct photon puzzle tension.

  3. Longitudinal Dynamics of Large and Small Systems from a 3D Bayesian Calibration of RHIC Top-energy Collision Data

    nucl-ex 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 3D Bayesian calibration of RHIC Au-Au and d-Au data constrains the longitudinal initial state and QGP viscosity, and its posterior predicts p-Au and 3He-Au flow measurements.

  4. Constraining the Resolution Length of Quark-Gluon Plasma with New Jet Substructure Measurements

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Jet substructure measurements from ALICE and ATLAS, modeled with the Hybrid Model, disfavor both fully coherent and fully incoherent energy loss, implying a finite QGP resolution length near 1/(pi T).

    hep-ex 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In PYTHIA8 and EPOS-LHC simulations of pp collisions, charge balance function widths narrow with multiplicity, are narrower in jet-like than isotropic events, and EPOS core-on/off differences point to radial flow as t...

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The transport coefficients of a hot pion gas are recalculated under exponentially decaying background magnetic fields, showing that the field lifetime changes conductivities, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck and Nern...

    nucl-ex 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    First Pb-Pb measurement of heavy-flavor electron-charged particle azimuthal correlations shows a near-side low-pT enhancement hint (1.27 sigma) and an away-side high-pT suppression (2.5 sigma) in central collisions.

  8. Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In EPOS4, resonance yields and mean transverse momenta are governed by a species-dependent balance between hadronic rescattering and regeneration even in pp, p-O, and O-O collisions.

    In a 2+1 flavor soft-wall AdS/QCD model, the chiral condensate exhibits slow, non-trivial relaxation with a metastable plateau or overshoot when quenched close to the phase transition.
