Evolution of fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions from RHIC to LHC
Giuliano Giacalone, François Gelis, Pablo Guerrero-Rodríguez +3
Fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions are larger at RHIC energy than at LHC energy. This fact can be inferred from recent measurements of the fluctuations of th…
Observing the deformation of nuclei with relativistic nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone
I show that particle collider experiments on relativistic nuclear collisions can serve as direct probes of the deformation of the colliding nuclear species. I argue that collision…
The mean transverse momentum of ultracentral heavy-ion collisions: A new probe of hydrodynamics
Fernando G. Gardim, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We predict that the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons rises as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity in ultracentral nucleus-nucleus collis…
Thermodynamics of hot strong-interaction matter from ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
Fernando G. Gardim, Giuliano Giacalone, Matthew Luzum +1
Collisions between heavy atomic nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies are carried out at particle colliders to produce the quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter where quarks and gl…
Hydrodynamic attractors, initial state energy and particle production in relativistic nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Sören Schlichting
We exploit the concept of hydrodynamic attractors to establish a general relation between the initial state energy and the produced particle multiplicities in high-energy nuclear c…
Primordial fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions
François Gelis, Giuliano Giacalone, Pablo Guerrero-Rodríguez +2
We present a simple description of the energy density profile created in a nucleus-nucleus collision, motivated by high-energy QCD. The energy density is modeled as the sum of cont…
