Nonequilibrium fluid-dynamics in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

To describe ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions we construct a three-fluid hydrodynamical model. In contrast to one-fluid hydrodynamics, it accounts for the finite stopping power of nuclear matter, i.e. for nonequilibrium effects in the early stage of the reaction. Within this model, we study baryon dynamics in the BNL-AGS energy range. For the system Au+Au we find that kinetic equilibrium between projectile and target nucleons is established only after a time $t_{CM}^{eq}\approx 5fm/c\simeq 2R_{Au}/{\gamma }_{CM}$. Observables which are sensitive to the early stage of the collision (like e.g. nucleon flow) therefore differ considerably from those calculated in the one-fluid model.
