Both experimental high-energy physics and heavy-ion physics are now disciplines in which virtually all working physicists are involved in collaborations of hundreds, if not thousands, of physicists. The ATLAS collaboration at the LHC, for instance, includes some 2,000 researchers from 165 institutions. It's not surprising that the most-cited researchers in the field work with the major collaborations and are among hundreds of authors on most of their highly cited papers.
Many of the authors who have generated the most total citations in the field are working on heavy-ion collisions, reflecting the dominance of RHIC in the physics of the past decade, among the names is James Thomas of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, a leader of the STAR collaboration. Basanta Nandi of the Indian Institute of Technology and Thomas Peitzmann of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands are also both STAR collaboration members. Zhiyi Liu of Simon Fraser University has worked on top quark physics as a member of the D0 collaboration at Fermilab and is now with the ALICE collaboration at the LHC.
The top 20 list of cites per paper is dominated far and away by members of the CDF collaboration at Fermilab, with 16 of the top 20, including Argonne National Laboratory's Thomas LeCompte, who is also physics director of the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, and Joey Huston, also a member of ATLAS. Three more in the top 20 are with Fermilab's D0 collaboration, including Ashish Kumar of SUNY Buffalo. Standing out in this listing is Greg Landsberg of Brown University, a member of D0 but also a co-author (with Savas Dimopoulos of Stanford) of a 2001 Phys Rev Letters article entitled "Black holes at the large hadron collider" that, despite featuring only two authors and not hundreds, has garnered almost 500 citations.

General Information
Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
