On the Evolution of Jet Energy and Opening Angle in Strongly Coupled Plasma
Paul M. Chesler, Krishna Rajagopal
We calculate how the energy and the opening angle of jets in SYM theory evolve as they propagate through the strongly coupled plasma of that theory. We define the rate…
Universal hydrodynamic flow in holographic planar shock collisions
Paul M. Chesler, Niki Kilbertus, Wilke van der Schee
We study the collision of planar shock waves in AdS as a function of shock profile. In the dual field theory the shock waves describe planar sheets of energy whose collision re…
Colliding shock waves and hydrodynamics in small systems
Paul M. Chesler
Using numerical holography, we study the collision of a planar sheet of energy with a bounded localized distribution of energy. The collision, which mimics proton-nucleus collision…
Early thermalization, hydrodynamics and energy loss in AdS/CFT
Paul M. Chesler, Wilke van der Schee
Gauge/gravity duality has provided unprecedented opportunities to study dynamics in certain strongly coupled gauge theories. This review aims to highlight several applications to h…
Holography and off-center collisions of localized shock waves
Paul M. Chesler, Laurence G. Yaffe
Using numerical holography, we study the collision, at non-zero impact parameter, of bounded, localized distributions of energy density chosen to mimic relativistic heavy ion colli…
