Gluonic Hot Spot Initial Conditions in Heavy-Ion Collisions
R. Snyder, M. Byres, S. H. Lim +1
The initial conditions in heavy-ion collisions are calculated in many different frameworks. The importance of nucleon position fluctuations within the nucleus and sub-nucleon struc…

The Skinny on Bulk Viscosity and Cavitation in Heavy Ion Collisions
M. Byres, S. H. Lim, C. McGinn +2
Relativistic heavy ion collisions generate nuclear-sized droplets of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that exhibit nearly inviscid hydrodynamic expansion. Smaller collision systems such as…
