Strongly Coupled Soft Functions
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Zhiquan Sun
The renormalization of operators built out of Wilson lines that meet at an angle (cusp) involve what is known as the cusp anomalous dimension, a universal object appearing in many…
Heavy flavor transport in the QGP medium
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld
I review recent developments on heavy flavor transport in the QGP medium, along two directions. The first is the transport of individual open heavy quarks. Leveraging the tools of…
Attractors Without Scaling: Adiabatic Hydrodynamization With and Without Inelastic Scattering
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
We study the process of hydrodynamization in kinetic theories of gluons undergoing boost-invariant expansion using the Adiabatic Hydrodynamization (AH) framework. We study both num…
Quarkonium suppression in strongly coupled plasmas
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Suppression of open heavy quarks and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions are among the most informative probes of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Interpreting the full wealth of data obtai…
Connecting Pre-Thermal and Hydrodynamizing Attractors With Adiabatic Hydrodynamization
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst
The far-from equilibrium dynamics of the pre-hydrodynamic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions can be characterized by distinct stages, during each of which the…
Universal Equilibration Condition for Heavy Quarks
Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Urs Achim Wiedemann
Kinetic equilibration at late times is physically required for heavy particles in a finite temperature medium. In Fokker-Planck dynamics, it is ensured by the Einstein relation bet…
