Evidence for universal flow and characteristics of early time thermalization in a scalar field model for heavy ion collisions
Margaret E. Carrington, Wade N. Cowie, Gabor Kunstatter +1
We study numerically the evolution of an expanding strongly self-coupled real scalar field. We use a conformally invariant action that gives a traceless energy-momentum tensor and…

Glasma properties in small proper time expansion
Margaret E. Carrington, Wade N. Cowie, Bryce T. Friesen +2
In a series of works by two of us, various characteristics of the glasma from the earliest phase of relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been studied using a proper time expansio…

Phase transitions in 3-dimensional Dirac semi-metals using Schwinger-Dyson equations
Margaret E. Carrington, Wade N. Cowie, Brett A. Meggison
We study the semi-metal/insulator quantum phase transition in three-dimensional Dirac semi-metals by solving a set of Schwinger-Dyson equations. We study the effect of an anisotrop…
