Event-by-event vortex rings in fixed-target p+Ar collisions
David Chinellato, Michael Lisa, Willian Serenone +3
We present event-by-event simulations for central asymmetric p+Ar collisions at GeV to investigate the formation and evolution of vortex-ring structures…
Strongly Interacting Matter Under Rotation: An Introduction
Francesco Becattini, Jinfeng Liao, Michael Lisa
Ultrarelativistic collisions between heavy nuclei briefly generate the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter characterized by deconfined partons last seen microseconds af…
An Event Plane Detector for STAR -- Construction Proposal 2016
Alex Schmah, Rosi Reed, Michael Lisa
This is the construction proposal for the STAR Event Plane Detector (EPD). It discusses design considerations, simulations, and physics motivations for the device. It also covers o…
Centrality determination with a forward detector in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan
Skipper Kagamaster, Rosi Reed, Michael Lisa
Recently, Chatterjee et al used a hadronic transport model to estimate the resolution with which various experimental quantities select the impact parameter of relativistic heavy i…
Polarization and Vorticity in the Quark Gluon Plasma
Francesco Becattini, Michael Lisa
The quark-gluon plasma produced by collisions between ultra-relativistic heavy nuclei is well described in the language of hydrodynamics. Non-central collisions are characterized b…
