Universal parameterization of initial-state fluctuations and its applications to event-by-event anisotropy
Li Yan, Jean-Yves Ollitrault, Art M. Poskanzer
We propose Elliptic Power and Power parameterizations for the probability distribution of initial state anisotropies in heavy-ion collisions. By assuming a linear eccentricity scal…
Azimuthal Anisotropy Distributions in High-Energy Collisions
Li Yan, Jean-Yves Ollitrault, Arthur M. Poskanzer
Elliptic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions results from the hydrodynamic response to the spatial anisotropy of the initial density profile. A long-standing problem in…
Eccentricity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions
Li Yan, Jean-Yves Ollitrault, Arthur M. Poskanzer
We propose a new parametrization of the distribution of the initial eccentricity in a nucleus-nucleus collision at a fixed centrality, which we name the Elliptic Power distribution…
Quark production, Bose-Einstein condensates and thermalization of the quark-gluon plasma
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Bin Wu, Li Yan
In this paper, we study the thermalization of gluons and N_f flavors of massless quarks and antiquarks in a spatially homogeneous system. First, two coupled transport equations for…
Plane correlations and hydrodynamic simulations of heavy ion collisions
Derek Teaney, Li Yan
We use a nonlinear response formalism to describe the event plane correlations measured by the ATLAS collaboration. With one exception ($\left\langle \cos(2Ψ_2 - 6Ψ_3 + 4 Ψ_4) \rig…
