Ekpyrosis and inflationary dynamics in heavy ion collisions: the role of quantum fluctuations
Conference
·
OSTI ID:1029250
We summarize recent significant progress in the development of a first-principles formalism to describe the formation and evolution of matter in very high energy heavy ion collisions. The key role of quantum fluctuations both before and after a collision is emphasized. Systematic computations are now feasible to address early time isotropization, flow, parton energy loss and the Chiral Magnetic Effect.
