Near-thermal state and thermodynamic response of a QCD system in ultra-central heavy-ion collisions
Yu-Shan Mu, Li Yan, Xu-Guang Huang
We present a systematic framework to extract QCD thermodynamic properties at finite baryon density from ultra-central heavy-ion collisions, where the impact parameter is nearly zer…
Hydrodynamic Short-Range Correlations from Boltzmann-Langevin Equation
Li Yan, Derek Teaney
We investigate hydrodynamic contributions to short-range two-particle correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using the Boltzmann-Langevin equation. We derive and solve t…
Extracting the Speed of Sound in Heavy-Ion Collisions: A Study of Quantum-Initiated Fluctuations and Thermalization
Yu-Shan Mu, Jing-An Sun, Li Yan +1
The thermalization of quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions is crucial for understanding its behavior as a relativistic fluid and the thermodynamic properties of the Q…
Quantum thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma
Shile Chen, Li Yan, Shuzhe Shi
The thermalization of quark gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is a crucial theoretical question in understanding the onset of hydrodynamics, and in a broad…
Relativistic spin hydrodynamics revisited with general rotation by entropy-current analysis
Lixin Yang, Li Yan
We revisit the canonical formulation of spin hydrodynamics for Dirac fermions with a general thermal vorticity. The orders of the general thermal vorticity and the corresponding sp…
