Toward Thermalization in Heavy Ion Collisions at Strong Coupling
Yuri V. Kovchegov, Shu Lin
We find the trapped surface for a collision of two sourceless shock waves in AdS and conclude that such collisions always lead to a creation of a black hole in the bulk. Due to…

The Rise and Fall of Baryons
Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
We discuss the baryonic contribution to QCD thermodynamics near the QCD phase transition, which we split into "stringy excitations" and the "chiral" lowest states. Our finite- s…

Grazing Collisions of Gravitational Shock Waves and Entropy Production in Heavy Ion Collision
Shu Lin, Edward Shuryak
AdS/CFT correspondence is now widely used for study of strongly coupled plasmas, such as produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. While properties of equilibrate…
