Development of relativistic shock waves in viscous gluon matter
I. Bouras, E. Molnar, H. Niemi +5
To investigate the formation and the propagation of relativistic shock waves in viscous gluon matter we solve the relativistic Riemann problem using a microscopic parton cascade. W…

Dissipation, Collective Flow and Mach Cones at RHIC
I. Bouras, A. El, O. Fochler +3
Fast thermalization and a strong buildup of elliptic flow of QCD matter as found at RHIC are understood as the consequence of perturbative QCD (pQCD) interactions within the 3+1 di…

Relativistic shock waves in viscous gluon matter
I. Bouras, E. Molnar, H. Niemi +5
We solve the relativistic Riemann problem in viscous gluon matter employing a microscopic parton cascade. We demonstrate the transition from ideal to viscous shock waves by varying…
