Thermalization of a color glass condensate and review of the "Bottom-Up" scenario
Andrej El, Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
Thermalization of a longitudinally expanding color glass condensate with Bjorken boost invariant geometry is investigated within microscopical parton cascade BAMPS. Our main focus…
Perturbative QCD Calculations of Elliptic Flow and Shear Viscosity in Au+Au Collisions at GeV
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner, Horst Stoecker
The elliptic flow and the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density, , of gluon matter are calculated from the perturbative QCD (pQCD) based parton cascade B…
Shear Viscosity in a Gluon Gas
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
The relation of the shear viscosity coefficient to the recently introduced transport rate is derived within relativistic kinetic theory. We calculate the shear viscosity over entro…
The thermodynamics for a hadronic gas of fireballs with internal color structures and chiral fields
Ismail Zakout, Carsten Greiner
The thermodynamical partition function for a gas of color-singlet bags consisting of fundamental and adjoint particles in both and group representations is revie…
Shear Viscosity to Entropy within a Parton Cascade
A. El, C. Greiner, Z. Xu
The shear viscosity is calculated by means of the perturbative kinetic partonic cascade BAMPS with CGC initial conditons for various saturation momentum scale Q_s. eta/s ~ 0.15 sta…
Chemical Equilibration at the Hagedorn Temperature
J. Noronha-Hostler, C. Greiner, I. A. Shovkovy
One important question in relativistic heavy ion collisions is if hadrons, specifically anti-hyperons, are in equilibrium before thermal freezeout because strangeness enhancement h…
Transport rates and momentum isotropization of gluon matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
To describe momentum isotropization of gluon matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the transport rate of gluon drift and the transport collision rates of elast…
The role of the gluonic gg<->ggg interactions in early thermalization in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
We ``quantify'' the role of elastic as well as inelastic gg<->ggg pQCD processes in kinetic equilibration within a pQCD inspired parton cascade. The contributions of different proc…
