Transits of the QCD Critical Point
Yukinao Akamatsu, Derek Teaney, Fanglida Yan +1
We analyze the evolution of hydrodynamic fluctuations in a heavy ion collision as the system passes close to the QCD critical point. We introduce two small dimensionless parameters…
Fast resonance decays in nuclear collisions
Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Stefan Floerchinger, Eduardo Grossi +1
In the context of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions, we present a fast method for calculating the final particle spectra after the direct decay of resonances from a Cooper-Frye…
Effective kinetic description of event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions
Aleksi Kurkela, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Jean-François Paquet +2
We develop a macroscopic description of the space-time evolution of the energy-momentum tensor during the pre-equilibrium stage of a high-energy heavy-ion collision. Based on a wea…
Second-order Hydrodynamics in Next-to-Leading-Order QCD
Jacopo Ghiglieri, Guy D. Moore, Derek Teaney
We compute the hydrodynamic relaxation times and for hot QCD at next-to-leading order in the coupling with kinetic theory. We show that certain dimensionless ratios of…
Matching the Nonequilibrium Initial Stage of Heavy Ion Collisions to Hydrodynamics with QCD Kinetic Theory
Aleksi Kurkela, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Jean-François Paquet +2
High-energy nuclear collisions produce a nonequilibrium plasma of quarks and gluons which thermalizes and exhibits hydrodynamic flow. There are currently no practical frameworks to…
QCD Shear Viscosity at (almost) NLO
Jacopo Ghiglieri, Guy D. Moore, Derek Teaney
We compute the shear viscosity of QCD with matter, including almost all next-to-leading order corrections -- that is, corrections suppressed by one power of relative to leading…
