Collective Flow of QCD Matter: a Historical Introduction

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a historical review of the physics observables developed for relativistic nuclear collisions, that describe collective hydrodynamic flow of hadronic or partonic matter, and of the corresponding experimental progress. We begin with the early discovery phase of radial and directed flow at the Bevalac, and continue the review until the recent work at RHIC and LHC, and related theory.
