Title: Characterizing hydrodynamical fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions from effective field theory approach

Abstract

Hydrodynamic fluctuations are found to be important in many situations such as cosmology, condensed matter system and heavy-ion collisions. Recently, an effective field theory for fluctuating dissipative hydrodynamics has been developed in 1511.03646 and 1701.07817. We apply this theory to investigate nontrivial consequences of hydrodynamic fluctuations on the Bjorken expanding quark gluon plasma (QGP). In particular, we explore nontrivial effects due to interactions among hydrodynamical variables and noises which are systematically incorporated in the present framework but are not fully captured in conventional approaches.

Adiabatic hydrodynamization in rapidly-expanding quark–gluon plasma

Journal Article Brewer, Jasmine ; Yan, Li ; Yin, Yi - Physics Letters B

We propose a new scenario characterizing the transition of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions from a highly non-equilibrium state at early times toward a fluid described by hydrodynamics at late times. We develop an analogy to the evolution of a quantum mechanical system that is governed by the instantaneous ground states. In the simplest case, these slow modes are “pre-hydrodynamic” in the sense that they are initially distinct from, but evolve continuously into, hydrodynamic modes. For a class of collision integrals, the pre-hydrodynamic mode represents the angular distribution (in momentum space) of those gluons that carry mostmore »« less

Causal viscous hydrodynamics in 2 + 1 dimensions for relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Huichao, Song ; Heinz, Ulrich ; CERN, Physics Department, Theory Division, CH-1211 Geneva 23 - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We explore the effects of shear viscosity on the hydrodynamic evolution and final hadron spectra of Cu + Cu collisions at ultrarelativistic collision energies, using the newly developed (2 + 1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic code VISH2+1. Based on the causal Israel-Stewart formalism, this code describes the transverse evolution of longitudinally boost-invariant systems without azimuthal symmetry around the beam direction. Shear viscosity is shown to decelerate the longitudinal and accelerate the transverse hydrodynamic expansion. For fixed initial conditions, this leads to a longer quark-gluon plasma (QGP) lifetime, larger radial flow in the final state, and flatter transverse momentum spectra for the emittedmore »« less

Jet wake from linearized hydrodynamics

Journal Article Casalderrey-Solana, Jorge ; Milhano, José Guilherme ; Pablos, Daniel ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We explore how to improve the hybrid model description of the particles originating from the wake that a jet produced in a heavy ion collision leaves in the droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through which it propagates, using linearized hydrodynamics on a background Bjorken flow. Jet energy and momentum loss described by the hybrid model become currents sourcing linearized hydrodynamics. By solving the linearized hydrodynamic equations numerically, we investigate the development of the wake in the dynamically evolving droplet of QGP, study the effect of viscosity, scrutinize energy-momentum conservation, and check the validity of the linear approximation. We find thatmore »« less

Freezing out fluctuations in $Hydro +$ near the QCD critical point

Journal Article Pradeep, Maneesha ; Rajagopal, Krishna ; Stephanov, Mikhail ; ... - Physical Review D

We introduce a freeze-out procedure to convert the critical fluctuations in a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that has, as it expanded and cooled, passed close to a posited critical point on the phase diagram into cumulants of hadron multiplicities that can subsequently be measured. The procedure connects the out-of-equilibrium critical fluctuations described in concert with the hydrodynamic evolution of the droplet of QGP by extended hydrodynamics, known as Hydro+, with the subsequent kinetic description in terms of observable hadrons. We introduce a critical scalar isoscalar field sigma whose fluctuations cause correlations between observed hadrons due to the couplings ofmore »« less

Hydrodynamic description of D meson production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions *

Journal Article Ding, Chi ; Ke, Wei-Yao ; Pang, Long-Gang ; ... - Chinese Physics C, High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics

The large values and constituent-quark-number scaling of the elliptic flow of low-p_T D mesons imply that charm quarks, initially produced through hard processes, might be partially thermalized through strong interactions with quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. To quantify the degree of thermalization of low-p_T charm quarks, we compare the D⁰ meson spectra and elliptic flow from a hydrodynamic model to experimental data as well as transport model simulations. We use an effective charm chemical potential at the freeze-out temperature to account for the initial charm quark production from hard processes and assume that they are thermalized in the local comoving frame of the medium before freeze-out. D⁰ mesons are sampled statistically from the freeze-out hyper-surface of the expanding QGP as described by the event-by-event (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic model CLVisc. Both the hydrodynamic and transport models can describe the elliptic flow of D⁰ mesons at P_T < 3 GeV/c as measured in Au+Au collisions atmore »« less
