Abstract

After a brief introduction to the physics of high-energy nuclear collisions, we will present recent experimental results that are closely connected to the properties of the matter produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Collective motion with parton degrees of freedom is called partonic collectivity. We will focus on collective observables such as transverse radial flow and elliptic flow. With experimental observations, we will demonstrate that, at RHIC, collectivity has already been developed prior to the hadronic stage. Finally, we will develop a plan for future measurements that are needed for characterization of the partonic Equation of State in high-energy nuclear collisions.
