QCD plasma equilibration, elliptic flow and jet-quenching - phenomena of common origin
Oliver Fochler, Andrej El, Zhe Xu +1
Fast thermalization, a subsequent strong buildup of elliptic flow of QCD matter and jet-quenching as found at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are understood as the conse…
Thermalization of a color glass condensate and review of the "Bottom-Up" scenario
Andrej El, Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
Thermalization of a longitudinally expanding color glass condensate with Bjorken boost invariant geometry is investigated within microscopical parton cascade BAMPS. Our main focus…
Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC
H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp
We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
H. van Hees, R. Rapp
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
Shear Viscosity to Entropy within a Parton Cascade
A. El, C. Greiner, Z. Xu
The shear viscosity is calculated by means of the perturbative kinetic partonic cascade BAMPS with CGC initial conditons for various saturation momentum scale Q_s. eta/s ~ 0.15 sta…
