Abstract

Heavy-ion collisions are well described by a dynamical evolution with a long hydrodynamical phase. In this phase the properties of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma are reflected in the equation of state (EoS) and the transport coefficients, most prominently by the shear and bulk viscosity over entropy density ratios η/s( T) and ς/s( T), respectively. While the EoS is by now known to a high accuracy, the transport coefficients and in particular their temperature and density dependence are not well known from first-principle computations yet, as well as the possible influence they can have once used in hydrodynamical simulations. In this work, the most recent QCD-based parameters are provided as input to the MUSIC framework. A ratio η/s( T) computed with a QCD based approach is used for the first time [1, 2]. The IP-Glasma model is used to describe the initial energy density distribution, and UrQMD for the dilute hadronic phase. Simulations are performed for Pb–Pb collisions at √ ^sNN = 2.76 TeV, for different centrality intervals. The resulting kinematic distributions of the particles produced in the collisions are compared to data from the LHC, for several experimental observables. Furthermore, the high precision of the experimental results and themore »« less

A new relativistic viscous hydrodynamics code and its application to the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Okamoto, Kazuhisa ; Nonaka, Chiho - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

Here, we construct a new relativistic viscous hydrodynamics code optimized in the Milne coordinates. We also split the conservation equations into an ideal part and a viscous part, using the Strang spitting method. In the code a Riemann solver based on the two-shock approximation is utilized for the ideal part and the Piecewise Exact Solution (PES) method is applied for the viscous part. Furthemore, we check the validity of our numerical calculations by comparing analytical solutions, the viscous Bjorken’s flow and the Israel–Stewart theory in Gubser flow regime. Using the code, we discuss possible development of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability inmore » high-energy heavy-ion collisions.« less

Hydrodynamics with chiral anomaly and charge separation in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Journal Article Yin, Yi ; Liao, Jinfeng - Physics Letters. Section B

Matter with chiral fermions is microscopically described by theory with quantum anomaly and macroscopically described (at low energy) by anomalous hydrodynamics. For such systems in the presence of external magnetic field and chirality imbalance, a charge current is generated along the magnetic field direction ₋ a phenomenon known as the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). The quark- gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions provides an (approximate) example, for which the CME predicts a charge separation perpendicular to the collisional reaction plane. Charge correlation measurements designed for the search of such signal have been done at RHIC and the LHCmore »« less

Collision-energy dependence of $p_{t}$ correlations in Au + Au collisions at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Journal Article Adam, J. ; Adamczyk, L. ; Adams, J. R. ; ... - Physical Review C

© 2019 American Physical Society. We present two-particle pt correlations as a function of event centrality for Au+Au collisions at sNN=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider using the STAR detector. These results are compared to previous measurements from CERES at the Super Proton Synchrotron and from ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider. The data are compared with UrQMD model calculations and with a model based on a Boltzmann-Langevin approach incorporating effects from thermalization. The relative dynamical correlations for Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV show a power-law dependence on the numbermore »« less
