Event-by-event Hydrodynamic Simulations for Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
arXiv:1308.2182
Abstract
In this thesis, I show my Ph.D. work on event-by-event hydrodynamic simulations for relativistic heavy-ion collision. I show that event-by-event hydrodynamic simulations have become an indispensable tool for studying relativistic heavy-ion collisions and how it can be used to explain many phenomena. Different chapters focus on different topics; it mainly includes: Chap 2: comparison between single-shot hydrodynamics event-by-event hydrodynamic simulations. Chap 3: using the elliptic and triangular flow data measured by the ALICE collaboration at the LHC to constrain initial condition models. Chap 4: study on correlations between event-plane angles. Chap 5: how resonance decay calculation can be speed up by a factor of 10. Chap 6: study on fluctuations of event planes angle Ψn(pT) and their theoretical and experimental consequences. Chap 7: sampling particles according to the Cooper-Frye formula.
