Azimuthal momentum isotropization in the Quark-Gluon Plasma thermalization
Sergio Barrera Cabodevila, Xiaojian Du, Carlos A. Salgado +1
Azimuthal anisotropies coming from the initial state of a heavy-ion collision have been historically disregarded in the study of thermalization because they are expected to be rapi…

Solving the QCD effective kinetic theory with neural networks
Sergio Barrera Cabodevila, Aleksi Kurkela, Florian Lindenbauer
Event-by-event QCD kinetic theory simulations are hindered by the large numerical cost of evaluating the high-dimensional collision integral in the Boltzmann equation. In this work…

Machine learning approach to QCD kinetic theory
Sergio Barrera Cabodevila, Aleksi Kurkela, Florian Lindenbauer
The effective kinetic theory (EKT) of QCD provides a possible picture of various non-equilibrium processes in heavy- and light-ion collisions. While there have been substantial adv…
