Title: Pre-equilibrium dynamics and heavy-ion observables

Abstract

To bracket the importance of the pre-equilibrium stage on relativistic heavy-ion collision observables, we compare simulations where it is modeled by either free-streaming partons or fluid dynamics. These cases implement the assumptions of extremely weak vs. extremely strong coupling in the initial collision stage. Accounting for flow generated in the pre-equilibrium stage, we study the sensitivity of radial, elliptic and triangular flow on the switching time when the hydrodynamic description becomes valid. Using the hybrid code iEBE-VISHNU [1] we perform a multi-parameter search, constrained by particle ratios, integrated elliptic and triangular charged hadron flow, the mean transverse momenta of pions, kaons and protons, and the second moment of the proton transverse momentum spectrum, to identify optimized values for the switching time \tau_s from pre-equilibrium to hydrodynamics, the specific shear viscosity eta/s, the normalization factor of the temperature-dependent specific bulk viscosity (zeta/s)(T), and the switching temperature T_sw from viscous hydrodynamics to the hadron cascade UrQMD. With the optimized parameters, we predict and compare with experiment the p_T -distributions of pi, K, p, Lambda, Xi and Omega yields and their elliptic flow coefficients, focusing specifically on the mass-ordering of the elliptic flow for protons and Lambda hyperons which is incorrectly described bymore » VISHNU without pre-equilibrium flow.« less
