Effects of Subnucleonic Fluctuations on the Longitudinal Dynamics of Heavy-Ion Collisions

Oscar Garcia-Montero, Sören Schlichting, Jie Zhu

It is well understood that subnuclear fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions have an important impact on the creation of long-range correlations in the transvers…

Effective theories for nuclei at high energies

Oscar Garcia-Montero, Sören Schlichting

We discuss the application of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), an effective field theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), to describe high-energy nuclear interactions. We first pr…

Effects of sub-nucleonic fluctuations on the longitudinal structure of heavy-ion collisions

Oscar Garcia-Montero, Sören Schlichting, Jie Zhu

Sub-nuclear fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions impact not only transverse long-range correlations of small systems, but also the creation of longitudinal str…

Heavy Quark Momentum Broadening in a Non-Abelian Plasma away from Thermal Equilibrium

Harshit Pandey, Soeren Schlichting, Sayantan Sharma

We perform classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations to compute real-time spectral functions and momentum broadening of quarks in the presence of strongly populated non-A…

Sphaleron damping and effects on vector and axial charge transport in high-temperature QCD plasmas

Lillian de Bruin, Sören Schlichting

We modify the anomalous hydrodynamic equations of motion to account for dissipative effects due to QCD sphaleron transitions. By investigating the linearized hydrodynamic equations…

Statistical analysis of initial state and final state response in heavy-ion collisions

Nicolas Borghini, Marc Borrell, Nina Feld +3

We develop a general decomposition of an ensemble of initial density profiles in terms of an average state and a basis of modes that represent the event-by-event fluctuations of th…

Transverse mass scaling of dilepton radiation off a quark-gluon plasma

Maurice Coquet, Xiaojian Du, Jean-Yves Ollitrault +2

The spectrum of dileptons produced by the quark-gluon plasma in an ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collision depends only, to a good approximation, on the transverse mass M_t of…
