◮ Properties <strong>of</strong> the QGP: weakly or strongly coupled?<br />

Collective behavior <strong>of</strong> the observed final-state hadrons (anisotropy <strong>of</strong><br />

the momenta distribution in the ellipse angle): suggests that RHIC<br />

and LHC QGP is a fluid, which moreover exhibits a very small<br />

viscosity (ideal, strongly coupled fluid).<br />

◮ Probes <strong>of</strong> QGP? it exists for 5fm (or, in proper units, 10 −23 s), so<br />

external probes cannot be used. Use hard probes created during the<br />

collision - jet quenching.
