Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions
S. Abreu, S. V. Akkelin, J. Alam +164
This writeup is a compilation of the predictions for the forthcoming Heavy Ion Program at the Large Hadron Collider, as presented at the CERN Theory Institute 'Heavy Ion Collisions…
The strength of crystalline color superconductors
Massimo Mannarelli, Krishna Rajagopal, Rishi Sharma
We present a study of the shear modulus of the crystalline color superconducting phase of quark matter, showing that this phase of dense, but not asymptotically dense, quark matter…
Exciting gauge unstable modes of the quark-gluon plasma by relativistic jets
Massimo Mannarelli, Cristina Manuel
We present a study of the properties of the collective modes of a system composed by a thermalized quark-gluon plasma traversed by a relativistic jet of partons. We find that when…
Nonperturbative Heavy-Quark Diffusion in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
H. van Hees, M. Mannarelli, V. Greco +1
We evaluate heavy-quark (HQ) transport properties in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) employing interaction potentials extracted from thermal lattice QCD. Within a Brueckner many-body sc…
Jet-induced gauge field instabilities in the quark-gluon plasma: A kinetic theory approach
Massimo Mannarelli, Cristina Manuel
We discuss the properties of the collective modes of a system composed by a thermalized quark-gluon plasma traversed by a relativistic jet of partons. The transport equations obeye…
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…
Exciting the quark-gluon plasma with a relativistic jet
Massimo Mannarelli, Cristina Manuel
We discuss the properties of a system composed by a static plasma traversed by a jet of particles. Assuming that both the jet and the plasma can be described using a hydrodynamical…
Chromohydrodynamical instabilities induced by relativistic jets
Massimo Mannarelli, Cristina Manuel
We study the properties of the chromohydrodynamical instabilities induced by a relativistic jet that crosses the quark-gluon plasma. Assuming that the jet of particles and the plas…
The rigidity of crystalline color superconducting quark matter
Massimo Mannarelli, Krishna Rajagopal, Rishi Sharma
We calculate the shear modulus of crystalline color superconducting quark matter, showing that this phase of dense, but not asymptotically dense, three-flavor quark matter responds…
Effective degrees of freedom and gluon condensation in the high temperature deconfined phase
Paolo Castorina, Massimo Mannarelli
The Equation of State and the properties of matter in the high temperature deconfined phase are analyzed by a quasiparticle approach for . In order to fix the parameter…
