Attractodynamics in 0+1D

Jean F. Du Plessis, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst

Hydrodynamics is a macroscopic theory of long-wavelength dynamics around local thermal equilibrium. We develop attractodynamics, the analogous construction around a far-from-equili…

Updated Astrophysical Equation-of-State Constraints on the Color-Superconducting Gap

Aleksi Kurkela, Krishna Rajagopal, Rachel Steinhorst

We summarize and update using new NICER measurements the results of arXiv:2401.16253, in which we used various astrophysical neutron-star observations to set an upper bound on the…

Attractors Without Scaling: Adiabatic Hydrodynamization With and Without Inelastic Scattering

Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst

We study the process of hydrodynamization in kinetic theories of gluons undergoing boost-invariant expansion using the Adiabatic Hydrodynamization (AH) framework. We study both num…

Connecting Pre-Thermal and Hydrodynamizing Attractors With Adiabatic Hydrodynamization

Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst

The far-from equilibrium dynamics of the pre-hydrodynamic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions can be characterized by distinct stages, during each of which the…

Adiabatic Hydrodynamization and the Emergence of Attractors: a Unified Description of Hydrodynamization in Kinetic Theory

Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst

"Attractor" solutions for the pre-hydrodynamic, far-from-equilibrium, evolution of the matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions have emerged as crucial descriptors of t…

Adiabatic Hydrodynamization: a Natural Framework to Find and Describe Prehydrodynamic Attractors

Krishna Rajagopal, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Rachel Steinhorst

The adiabatic hydrodynamization framework is a promising framework within which to describe and characterize pre-hydrodynamic attractors in a model-independent fashion. Using this…
