Weak and strong coupling equilibration in nonabelian gauge theories
Liam Keegan, Aleksi Kurkela, Paul Romatschke +2
We present a direct comparison studying equilibration through kinetic theory at weak coupling and through holography at strong coupling in the same set-up. The set-up starts with a…
Isotropization and hydrodynamization in weakly coupled heavy-ion collisions
Aleksi Kurkela, Yan Zhu
We numerically solve 2+1D effective kinetic theory of weak coupling QCD under longitudinal expansion relevant for early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We find agreement with visco…
Jet propagation within a Linearized Boltzmann Transport Model
Tan Luo, Yayun He, Xin-Nian Wang +1
A Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model has been developed for the study of jet propagation inside a quark-gluon plasma. Both leading and thermal recoiled partons are transported…
Linear Boltzmann Transport for Jet Propagation in the Quark-Gluon Plasma: Elastic Processes and Medium Recoil
Yayun He, Tan Luo, Xin-Nian Wang +1
A Linear Boltzmann Transport model within perturbative QCD is developed for the study of parton propagation inside the quark-gluon plasma. Both leading partons and thermal recoil p…
On the infrared behavior of the shear spectral function in hot Yang-Mills theory
Aleksi Vuorinen, Yan Zhu
We revisit the determination of the two-loop spectral function in the shear channel of hot Yang-Mills theory. Correcting a technical error in an earlier computation and extending t…
