%0 Journal Article %T Towards the Little Bang Standard Model %A Ulrich W. Heinz %J Physics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/1742-6596/455/1/012044 %X I review recent progress in developing a complete dynamical model for the evolution of the Little Bang fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and using the model to extract the transport properties and initial density fluctuations of the liquid quark-gluon plasma state of matter of which makes up these Little Bangs during the first half of their lives. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3634v1
