New insights from 3D simulations of heavy ion collisions

Gabriel Denicol, Akihiko Monnai, Sangwook Ryu +1

Viscous relativistic hydrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions is applied to describe heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. We present calculations of observables that are sensitive to the l…

Probing the dissipative properties of a strongly interacting medium with dileptons

Gojko Vujanovic, Chun Shen, Gabriel S. Denicol +3

We investigate the effects of the presence of a non-vanishing net baryon number density and its diffusion on dilepton production, within a hydrodynamical description of the medium…

Physics perspectives of heavy-ion collisions at very high energy

Ning-bo Chang, Shanshan Cao, Bao-yi Chen +18

Heavy-ion collisions at very high colliding energies are expected to produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the highest temperature obtainable in a laboratory setting. Experimental…

Exact solutions of the Boltzmann equation and optimized hydrodynamic approaches for relativistic heavy-ion collisions

U. Heinz, D. Bazow, G. S. Denicol +5

Several recent results are reported from work aiming to improve the quantitative precision of relativistic viscous fluid dynamics for relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The dense m…

Collision Geometry and Flow in Uranium+Uranium Collisions

Andy Goldschmidt, Zhi Qiu, Chun Shen +1

Using event-by-event viscous fluid dynamics to evolve fluctuating initial density profiles from the Monte-Carlo Glauber model for U+U collisions, we report a "knee"-like structure…
