Knudsen number and universal behavior of collective flows in conformal and non-conformal systems
Vincenzo Nugara, Nicolas Borghini, Vincenzo Greco +1
We investigate the role of the Knudsen number (Kn) as a scaling parameter governing the emergence of collective behavior in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Using the Relativisti…
Statistical analysis of initial state and final state response in heavy-ion collisions
Nicolas Borghini, Marc Borrell, Nina Feld +3
We develop a general decomposition of an ensemble of initial density profiles in terms of an average state and a basis of modes that represent the event-by-event fluctuations of th…
Fireball tomography from bottomonia elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Partha Pratim Bhaduri, Mubarak Alqahtani, Nicolas Borghini +2
We calculate the elliptic flow of bottomonia produced in PbPb collisions at TeV. We consider temperature-dependent decay widths for the anisotropic…
Anisotropic escape mechanism and elliptic flow of bottomonia
Partha Pratim Bhaduri, Nicolas Borghini, Amaresh Jaiswal +1
We study the role of anisotropic escape in generating the elliptic flow of bottomonia produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We implement temperature-dependent decay w…
Dynamical evolution of heavy quarkonia in a deconfined medium
Nicolas Borghini, Clement Gombeaud
We investigate some consequences of the possibility that heavy quarkonia in a quark-gluon plasma possess different (quasi-) bound states, between which transitions are possible. In…
"Jets" and their distortion in heavy-ion collisions
Nicolas Borghini
After a discussion on the meaning of "jets" in the context of nucleus-nucleus collisions, the distortions of the profile of a parton shower induced by the presence of a medium is i…
Medium-induced broadening and softening of a parton shower
Nicolas Borghini
The modifications of the angular and transverse momentum distributions of quarks and gluons inside a parton shower due to the presence of a medium are studied within an analytical…
Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions
S. Abreu, S. V. Akkelin, J. Alam +164
This writeup is a compilation of the predictions for the forthcoming Heavy Ion Program at the Large Hadron Collider, as presented at the CERN Theory Institute 'Heavy Ion Collisions…
Predictions for the LHC heavy ion programme
Nicolas Borghini, Urs Achim Wiedemann
Apparently universal trends have been observed in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions up to RHIC energies. Here, we review these trends and we discuss their agnostic extrapolat…
Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC
H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp
We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
H. van Hees, R. Rapp
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
Are there monojets in high-energy proton-nucleus collisions?
Nicolas Borghini, Francois Gelis
We study high-energy proton-nucleus collisions within the Colour Glass Condensate framework, and compute the probabilities of having a definite number of scatterings in the nucleus…
Multiplicity distributions inside parton cascades developing in a medium
Nicolas Borghini
The explanation of the suppression of high-pT hadron yields at RHIC in terms of jet-quenching implies that the multiplicity distributions of particles inside a jet and jet-like par…
Distribution of multiple scatterings in proton-nucleus collisions at high energy
Nicolas Borghini, Francois Gelis
We consider proton-nucleus collisions at high energy in the Color Glass Condensate framework, and extract from the gluon production cross-section the probabilities of having a defi…
Multiplicity distributions for jet parton showers in a medium
Nicolas Borghini, Urs Achim Wiedemann
The "jet-quenching" interpretation of suppressed high-pT hadron production at RHIC implies that jet multiplicity distributions and jet-like particle correlations in heavy-ion colli…
Distorting the Hump-backed Plateau of Jets with Dense QCD Matter
Nicolas Borghini, Urs Achim Wiedemann
The hump-backed plateau of the single inclusive distribution of hadrons inside a jet provides a standard test of the interplay between probabilistic parton splitting and quantum co…
Multiparticle correlations from momentum conservation
Nicolas Borghini
Using a generating-function formalism, we compute the contribution of momentum conservation to multiparticle correlations between the emitted particles in high-energy collisions. I…
Thermalization and elliptic flow at RHIC
Nicolas Borghini, Phuong Mai Dinh, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We discuss signatures of thermalisation in heavy ion collisions based on elliptic flow. We then propose a new method to analyse elliptic flow, based on multiparticle azimuthal corr…
Anomalies and Fermion Content of Grand Unified Theories in Extra Dimensions
Nicolas Borghini, Yves Gouverneur, Michel H. G. Tytgat
The restrictions imposed by anomaly cancellation on the chiral fermion content of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories based on various groups are studied in spacetime dimension D=6, 8…
