A review of relativistic heavy ion facilities which exist, are in a construction phase, or are on the drawing boards at proposals, is presented. These facilities span the energy range from fixed target machines in the 1–2 GeV/nucleon regime, up to heavy ion colliders of 100 GeV/nucleon on 100 GeV/nucleon regime. In addition to specifying the general features of such machines, I will also outline the central physics themes to be carried out at these facilities, along with a sampling of the detectors which will be used to extract the physics.

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
