Reference on stages of heavy ion collisions in particle physics

Question

Is there any reference (book/review article etc.) where the physics of heavy ion collisions is overviewed?

To be absolutely clear about things, I am looking for a introductory review which covers the physics aspects of the progression through the following stages

• stable nuclei
• fireball
• quark-gluon plasma formation
• (cooling)
• hadronization
• hadron interactions and decay
• final observable particles (leptons, photons etc.)

with special emphasis on parameters like

1. time for these stages,

2. relevant temperatures,

3. particle densities etc.

Apparently all the literature I have scanned through talks about bits and parts, a comprehensive big picture is unclear to me largely.

If someone stumbles across this question here some links:

Very general, about big questions in the field from 2018: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.04801

More physics in here, by U. Heinz from 2013: https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.2826

Very nice review paper, linking to many established papers (2016): https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08694
