A fluid dual to charged large D membrane paradigm

Supratim Halder, Manu Kurian, Mangesh Mandlik

According to the formulation of the charged large membrane paradigm, an arbitrary dynamic black hole solution to a theory of gravity with a gauge field is dual to the dy…

Electromagnetic response of a relativistic drifting plasma

Ashes Modak, Anowar Shaikh, Manu Kurian +2

We investigate the charge transport properties of a relativistic drifting plasma using the kinetic theory within the relaxation time approximation. The collective drift induced by…

Charm quark evolution in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions

Mayank Singh, Manu Kurian, Björn Schenke +2

Heavy quarks are predominantly generated at the initial stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions such that heavy flavor observables have the potential to provide information on t…

Quarkonium in a QCD medium with momentum-dependent relaxation time

Sunny Kumar Singh, Samapan Bhadury, Ritesh Ghosh +1

In this study, we explore the properties of quarkonia in a hot QCD medium using a newly proposed collision kernel that consistently incorporates the particle's momentum dependence…

Pre-equilibrium charm quark dynamics and their impact on D-Meson observables

Manu Kurian, Mayank Singh, Charles Gale +2

We study the impact of pre-equilibrium evolution on the charm quark and in Pb+Pb collisions at = 5.02 TeV. We observe that there is significant diffu…

Mean free path of photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Jajati K. Nayak, Rupa Chatterjee

Electromagnetic probes, such as photons and dileptons, play a key role in diagnosing the initial temperature of the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma (QGP) matter created in relativ…
