Electromagnetic radiation and collectivity in small quark-gluon droplets

Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +2

We study the multiplicity and rapidity dependence of thermal and prompt photon production in p+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, using a (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic framework. Direct phot…

Overview of electromagnetic probes in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Jean-François Paquet

An introductory overview of electromagnetic probes in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is provided. Experimental evidence supporting the production of thermal photons and di…

Extracting kinetic freeze-out temperature and radial flow velocity from an improved Tsallis distribution

Hai-Ling Lao, Fu-Hu Liu, Roy A. Lacey

We analyze the transverse momentum () spectra of identified particles (, , , and ) produced in gold-gold (Au-Au) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions…

Symmetry Parameter Constraints From A Lower Bound On The Neutron-Matter Energy

Ingo Tews, James M. Lattimer, Akira Ohnishi +1

We propose the existence of a lower bound on the energy of pure neutron matter (PNM) on the basis of unitary-gas considerations. We discuss its justification from experimental stud…

Initial conditions for hydrodynamics from weakly coupled pre-equilibrium evolution

Aleksas Mazeliauskas

We use leading order effective kinetic theory to simulate the pre\nobreakdash-equilibrium evolution of transverse energy and flow perturbations in heavy-ion collisions. We provide…

Recent progress in understanding deconfinement and chiral restoration phase transitions

Edward Shuryak

Paradigme shift in gauge topology, from instantons to their constituents -- instanton-dyons -- has recently lead to very significant advances. Like instantons, they have fermionic…

Direct Photon Elliptic Flow at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

Young-Min Kim, Chang-Hwan Lee, Derek Teaney +1

We use an event-by-event hydrodynamical description of the heavy-ion collision process with Glauber initial conditions to calculate the thermal emission of photons. The photon rate…

Collectivity and electromagnetic radiation in small systems

Chun Shen, Jean-François Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +2

Collective behaviour has been observed in hadronic measurements of high multiplicity proton+lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as in (proton, deuteron, hel…

A new relativistic hydrodynamics code for high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Kazuhisa Okamoto, Yukinao Akamatsu, Chiho Nonaka

We construct a new Godunov type relativistic hydrodynamics code in Milne coordinates, using a Riemann solver based on the two-shock approximation which is stable under the existenc…

A practical method in calculating one loop quantum fluctuations to the energy of the non-topological soliton

Song Shu

I have used a practical method to calculate the one-loop quantum correction to the energy of the non-topological soliton in Friedberg-Lee model. The quantum effects which come from…

A kinetic regime of hydrodynamic fluctuations and long time tails for a Bjorken expansion

Yukinao Akamatsu, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Derek Teaney

We develop a set of kinetic equations for hydrodynamic fluctuations which are equivalent to nonlinear hydrodynamics with noise. The hydro-kinetic equations can be coupled to existi…

Productions of J/psi mesons in p-Pb collisions at 5 TeV

Fu-Hu Liu, Hai-Ling Lao, Roy A. Lacey

The rapidity distributions of mesons produced in proton-lead (-Pb) collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair TeV are studied by using a multis…

Higher order anisotropies in the Buda-Lund model: Disentangling flow and density field anisotropies

Sándor Lökös, Máté Csanád, Tamás Csörgő +1

The Buda-Lund hydro model describes an expanding ellipsoidal fireball, and fits the observed elliptic flow and oscillating HBT radii successfully. Due to fluctuations in energy dep…

In-medium covariant propagator of baryons under a strong magnetic field: effect of the intrinsic magnetic moments

R. M. Aguirre, A. L. De Paoli

We obtain the covariant propagator at finite temperature for interacting baryons immersed in a strong magnetic field. The effect of the intrinsic magnetic moments on the Green func…

Electromagnetic radiation as a probe of the initial state and of viscous dynamics in relativistic nuclear collisions

Gojko Vujanovic, Jean-François Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +3

The penetrating nature of electromagnetic signals makes them suitable probes to explore the properties of the strongly-interacting medium created in relativistic nuclear collisions…
