Analytical attractor for Bjorken expansion

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Li Yan

We present an analytic solution of a simple set of equations that govern the expansion of boost-invariant plasmas of massless particles. These equations describe, approximately, th…

Adiabatic hydrodynamization in rapidly-expanding quark-gluon plasma

Jasmine Brewer, Li Yan, Yi Yin

We propose a new scenario characterizing the transition of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions from a highly non-equilibrium state at early times toward a…

Nonlinear coupling of flow harmonics: Hexagonal flow and beyond

Giuliano Giacalone, Li Yan, Jean-Yves Ollitrault

Higher Fourier harmonics of anisotropic flow ( and beyond) get large contributions induced by elliptic and triangular flow through nonlinear response. We present a general fra…

A flow paradigm in heavy-ion collisions

Li Yan

The success of hydrodynamics in high energy heavy-ion collisions leads to a flow paradigm, to understand the observed features of harmonic flow in terms of the medium collective ex…

Hydrodynamic modeling of heavy-ion collisions

Li Yan

This contribution presents a theoretical overview of hydrodynamic modelling of heavy-ion collisions, with highlights on some recent developments. In particular, the formulation of…

Onset of hydrodynamics for a quark-gluon plasma from the evolution of moments of distribution functions

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Li Yan

The pre-equilibrium evolution of a quark-gluon plasma produced in a heavy-ion collision is studied in the framework of kinetic theory. We discuss the approach to local thermal equi…
