The 3+1D initialization and evolution of the Glasma
Scott McDonald, Sangyong Jeon, Charles Gale
The IP-Glasma initial condition has been highly successful in the phenomenology of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The assumption of boost invariance, however, while good…
Exploring Longitudinal Observables with 3+1D IP-Glasma
Scott McDonald, Sangyong Jeon, Charles Gale
We present a formulation of the initial state of heavy ion collisions that generalizes the 2+1D boost invariant IP-Glasma \cite{Schenke:2012wb} to 3+1D through JIMWLK rapidity evol…
Centrality dependence of the direct photon multiplicity in heavy ion collisions
Charles Gale, Sangyong Jeon, Scott McDonald +2
Measurements indicate that the centrality dependence of the direct photon multiplicity scales approximately with the number of binary nucleon collisions. Importantly, these same me…
Photon radiation from heavy-ion collisions in the GeV regime
Charles Gale, Sangyong Jeon, Scott McDonald +2
We present calculations of prompt and thermal photon production in Au-Au collisions at ~GeV. We discuss features of the spacetime profile of the plasma releva…
Hydrodynamic Fluctuations in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Mayank Singh, Chun Shen, Scott McDonald +2
We present a novel approach to the treatment of thermal fluctuations in the (3+1)-D viscous hydrodynamic simulation MUSIC. The phenomenological impact of thermal fluctuations on ha…
IP-Glasma Phenomenology Beyond 2D
Scott McDonald, Sangyong Jeon, Charles Gale
We present a novel formulation of the IP-Glasma initial state model in 3+1D in which the 2+1D boost invariant IP-Glasma is generalized through JIMWLK rapidity evolution of the pre-…
A Detailed Study and Synthesis of Flow Observables in the IP-Glasma+MUSIC+UrQMD Framework
Scott McDonald, Chun Shen, Francois Fillion-Gourdeau +2
In this work we use the IP-Glasma+MUSIC+UrQMD framework to systematically study a wide range of hadronic flow observables at 2.76 TeV. In addition to the single particle spectra an…
Pre-equilibrium Longitudinal Flow in the IP-Glasma Framework for Pb+Pb Collisions at the LHC
Scott McDonald, Chun Shen, Francois Fillion-Gourdeau +2
In this work, we debut a new implementation of IP-Glasma and quantify the pre-equilibrium longitudinal flow in the IP-Glasma framework. The saturation physics based IP-Glasma model…
Hydrodynamic Predictions for Pb+Pb Collisions at 5.02 A TeV
Scott McDonald, Chun Shen, Francois Fillion-Gourdeau +2
Predictions and comparisons of hadronic flow observables for Pb+Pb collisions at 2.76 A TeV and 5.02 A TeV are presented using a hydrodynamics + hadronic cascade hybrid approach. I…
