Abstract

Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have yielded an abundance of data which suggest that a new state of matter has been produced in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. This new state of matter is a strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma that behaves like a nearly perfect fluid with very low viscosity. I will review the experimental observations that point to the existence of the sQGP, and in particular I will emphasize the particle spectra and the flow data.
