Anisotropic hydrodynamics for conformal Gubser flow

Mohammad Nopoush, Radoslaw Ryblewski, Michael Strickland

We derive the equations of motion for a system undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal and azimuthally-symmetric transverse "Gubser flow" using leading-order anisotropic hydrodynam…

Viscous hydrodynamics for strongly anisotropic expansion

Ulrich W. Heinz, Dennis Bazow, Michael Strickland

A new formulation of second-order viscous hydrodynamics, based on an expansion around a locally anisotropic momentum distribution, is presented. It generalizes the previously devel…

Basic features of the pion valence-quark distribution function

Lei Chang, Cédric Mezrag, Hervé Moutarde +3

The impulse-approximation expression used hitherto to define the pion's valence-quark distribution function is flawed because it omits contributions from the gluons which bind quar…

Flavour symmetry breaking in the kaon parton distribution amplitude

Chao Shi, Lei Chang, Craig D. Roberts +3

We compute the kaon's valence-quark (twist-two parton) distribution amplitude (PDA) by projecting its Poincare'-covariant Bethe-Salpeter wave-function onto the light-front. At a sc…

Anisotropic Hydrodynamics: Motivation and Methodology

Michael Strickland

In this proceedings contribution I review recent progress in our understanding of the bulk dynamics of relativistic systems that possess potentially large local rest frame momentum…
