Abstract

We derive a new formula for jet energy loss using finite endpoint momentum shooting strings initial conditions in SYM plasmas to overcome the difficulties of previous falling string holographic scenarios. We apply the new formula to compute the nuclear modification factor R_AA and the elliptic flow parameter v₂ of light hadrons at RHIC and LHC. We show furthermore that Gauss–Bonnet quadratic curvature corrections to the AdS₅ geometry improve the agreement with the recent data.

Conformal holography of bulk elliptic flow and heavy-quark quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Journal Article Noronha, Jorge ; Gyulassy, Miklos ; Torrieri, Giorgio - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We show that the 'perfect fluid' elliptic flow of the bulk hadrons and the unexpectedly strong quenching of heavy quark jet fragments in Au + Au reactions at 200A GeV can be simultaneously accounted for within leading-order anti-de-Sitter space/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) holography with a common large t'Hooft coupling {lambda}=g{sub YM}{sup 2}N{sub c}{approx}30. In contrast, weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma models have so far failed to describe the observed correlation between these soft and hard observables even for couplings extrapolated to {alpha}{sub s}{approx}0.5. We show that phenomenological applications of the classical trailing string AdS/CFT holographic solution are furthermore remarkably robust tomore »« less

Strings on AdS wormholes

Journal Article Ali, Mir ; Ruiz, Frenny ; Saint-Victor, Carlos ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider the behavior of open strings on anti-de Sitter wormholes in Gauss-Bonnet theory, which are the Gauss-Bonnet gravity duals of a pair of field theories. A string with both endpoints on the same side of the wormhole describes two charges within the same field theory, which exhibit Coulomb interaction for small separation. On the other hand, a string extending through the wormhole describes two charges which live in different field theories, and they exhibit a springlike confining potential. A transition occurs when there is a pair of charges present within each field theory: for small separation each pair ofmore »« less

Extracting the jet transport coefficient from jet quenching in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Burke, Karen M. ; Buzzatti, Alessandro ; Chang, Ningbo ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

Within five different approaches to parton propagation and energy loss in dense matter, a phenomenological study of experimental data on suppression of large- p_T single inclusive hadrons in heavy-ion collisions at both the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was carried out. The evolution of bulk medium used in the study for parton propagation was given by 2 + 1 dimensional or 3 + 1 dimensional hydrodynamic models which are also constrained by experimental data on bulk hadron spectra. Values for the jet transport parametermore »« less

On the connection between hydrodynamics and quantum chaos in holographic theories with stringy corrections

Journal Article Grozdanov, Sašo - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Pole-skipping is a recently discovered signature of many-body quantum chaos in collective energy dynamics. It establishes a precise connection between resummed, all-order hydrodynamics and the underlying microscopic chaos. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of pole-skipping in holographic conformal field theories with higher-derivative gravity duals. In particular, we first consider Einstein-Hilbert gravity deformed by curvature-squared (R²) corrections and then type IIB supergravity theory with the α^{' 3}R⁴ term, where α^' is set by the length of the fundamental string. The former case allows us to discuss the effects of leading-order 1/N_c corrections (with N_c being the number of coloursmore »« less
