Chemical equilibration in hadronic collisions

A Kurkela, A Mazeliauskas - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We study chemical equilibration in out-of-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma using the first
principles method of QCD effective kinetic theory, accurate at weak coupling. In …

Effects of cluster particle correlations on local parity violation observables

F Wang - Physical Review C, 2010 - APS
We investigate effects of cluster particle correlations on two-and three-particle azimuth
correlator observables sensitive to local strong parity violation. We use two-particle angular …

Determining initial-state fluctuations from flow measurements in heavy-ion collisions

RS Bhalerao, M Luzum, JY Ollitrault - Physical review C, 2011 - APS
We present a number of independent flow observables that can be measured using
multiparticle azimuthal correlations in heavy-ion collisions. Some of these observables are …

Influence of a temperature-dependent shear viscosity on the azimuthal asymmetries of transverse momentum spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

Observation of charge asymmetry dependence of pion elliptic flow and the possible chiral magnetic wave in heavy-ion collisions

L Adamczyk, JK Adkins, G Agakishiev, MM Aggarwal… - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
We present measurements of π-and π+ elliptic flow, v 2, at midrapidity in Au+ Au collisions at
s NN= 200, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5, and 7.7 GeV, as a function of event-by-event charge …

Torqued fireballs in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

P Bożek, W Broniowski, J Moreira - Physical Review C, 2011 - APS
We show that the fluctuations in the wounded-nucleon model of the initial stage of relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, together with the natural assumption that the forward-(backward-) …

Azimuthal correlations from transverse momentum conservation and possible local parity violation

A Bzdak, V Koch, J Liao - Physical Review C, 2011 - APS
We analytically calculate the contribution of transverse momentum conservation to the
azimuthal correlations that have been proposed as signals for possible local strong parity …

Constraining through high- theory and data

B Karmakar, D Zigic, I Salom, M Djordjevic, J Auvinen… - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
We study whether it is possible to use high-p⊥ data/theory to constrain the temperature
dependence of the shear viscosity over entropy density ratio η/s of the matter formed in …

QCD shear viscosity at (almost) NLO

J Ghiglieri, GD Moore, D Teaney - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We compute the shear viscosity of QCD with matter, including almost all next-to-
leading order corrections—that is, corrections suppressed by one power of g relative to …
