Magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions: flow and charge transport

Gabriele Inghirami, Mark Mace, Yuji Hirono +3

At the earliest times after a heavy-ion collision, the magnetic field created by the spectator nucleons will generate an extremely strong, albeit rapidly decreasing in time, magnet…

Initial state description of azimuthally collimated long range correlations in ultrarelativistic light-heavy ion collisions

Mark Mace, Vladimir V. Skokov, Prithwish Tribedy +1

It was argued in arXiv:1805.09342 and arXiv:1807.00825 that the systematics of the azimuthal anisotropy coefficients measured in ultrarelativistic light-heavy ion collisi…

Multiparticle correlations and collectivity in small systems from the initial state

Kevin Dusling, Mark Mace, Vladimir V. Skokov +2

We report on recent progress in understanding multiparticle correlations in small systems from the initial state. First, we consider a proof-of-principle parton model, which we use…

Hierarchy of azimuthal anisotropy harmonics in collisions of small systems from the Color Glass Condensate

Mark Mace, Vladimir V. Skokov, Prithwish Tribedy +1

We demonstrate that the striking systematics of two-particle azimuthal Fourier harmonics and in ultrarelativistic collisions of protons, deuterons and helium-3 ions off…

Simulating chiral magnetic effect and anomalous transport phenomena in the pre-equilibrium stages of heavy-ion collisions

Mark Mace, Niklas Mueller, Soeren Schlichting +1

We present a first principles approach to study the Chiral Magnetic Effect during the pre-equilibrium stage of a heavy-ion collision. We discuss the dynamics of the Chiral Magnetic…

Multiparticle collectivity from initial state correlations in high energy proton-nucleus collisions

Kevin Dusling, Mark Mace, Raju Venugopalan

Qualitative features of multiparticle correlations in light-heavy ion () collisions at RHIC and LHC are reproduced in a simple initial state model of partons in the projectile…

Spectral function of fermions in a highly occupied non-Abelian plasma

Kirill Boguslavski, Tuomas Lappi, Mark Mace +1

We develop a method to obtain fermion spectral functions non-perturbatively in a non-Abelian gauge theory with high occupation numbers of gauge fields. After recovering the free fi…

Systematics of azimuthal anisotropy harmonics in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC from the Color Glass Condensate

Mark Mace, Vladimir V. Skokov, Prithwish Tribedy +1

Simple power counting arguments in the dilute-dense framework of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) Effective Field Theory predict that even and odd azimuthal anisotropy harmonics of…

Gauge-invariant condensation in the nonequilibrium quark-gluon plasma

Jürgen Berges, Kirill Boguslavski, Mark Mace +1

The large density of gluons, which is present shortly after a nuclear collision at very high energies, can lead to the formation of a condensate. We identify a gauge-invariant orde…

Chiral instabilities & the onset of chiral turbulence in QED plasmas

Mark Mace, Niklas Mueller, Sören Schlichting +1

We present a first principles study of chiral plasma instabilities and the onset of chiral turbulence in QED plasmas far from equilibrium. By performing classical-statistical latti…

Parton model description of multiparticle azimuthal correlations in collisions

Kevin Dusling, Mark Mace, Raju Venugopalan

In arXiv:1705.00745, an initial state "parton model" of quarks scattering off a dense nuclear target was shown to qualitatively reproduce the systematics of multiparticle azimuthal…

Non-equilibrium study of the Chiral Magnetic Effect from real-time simulations with dynamical fermions

Mark Mace, Niklas Mueller, Sören Schlichting +1

We present a real-time lattice approach to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of vector and axial charges in gauge theories. Based on a classical description of…
