This is a very poorly posed question. What is the theoretical expectation of the sQGP? The cynic might say the the theoretical expectation is whatever the experiments happen to see. I am curious: is there a consistent understanding of the present experimental results in the theoretical community? I mean, do all (or most?) theorists agree that the data can ONLY be explained in terms of the sQGP? > - what would it require to say it has been observed and charecterized. To characterize the system I guess we all have to continue to perform measurements. To claim discovery, it seems to me there should be some better idea what the sQGP is/is not. > > the present white paper certainly ducks such questions, and state that > a dense system with un-expected behaviour > has been observed. We do not "duck" such questions! The point of doing the experiment is to try to find out what the nature of the system is, we have not come that far yet. We are beginning to catalog the properties of matter formed in URHI collisions, but to not say more is not to "duck" the question.
