چکیده
We compute the longitudinal hydrodynamic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at √ s = 5500 GeV by using boost non-invariant initial conditions following from perturbative QCD. The transfer of entropy and energy from the central region to larger rapidities caused by boost non-invariance is determined and the associated decrease in the lifetime of the system is estimated.

متن کاملReal-time Simulations of High-energy Nuclear Collisions
The space–time evolution of nuclei in high energy heavy ion collisions and the various proposed signatures of the hot and dense matter formed 1 depend sensitively on the initial conditions for the evolution. These are the distributions of partons in each of the nuclei prior to the collision. In the standard perturbative QCD approach, observables from the collision are computed by convolving the...
متن کاملNuclear Shadowing Effects on Prompt Photons at RHIC and LHC
The transverse momentum distribution of prompt photons coming from the very early phase of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions for the RHIC and LHC energies is calculated by means of perturbative QCD. We calculate the single photon cross section (A+B → γ +X) by taking into account the partonic sub processes q + q → γ + g and q + g → γ + q as well as the Bremsstrahlung corrections to those pr...
متن کاملLower Limits for E T and N Ch from Pqcd & Hydrodynamics at the Central Rapidity Unit in Central Au-au Collisions at Rhic
Final state average transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at the central rapidity unit of central Au-Au collisions at RHIC are studied within a framework of lowest order perturbative QCD and Bjorken's hydrodynamical picture. In particular, effects of initial minijet production and the pdV work during the subsequent evolution of the QGP are investigated. Nuclear shadowing effects a...
متن کاملChemical equilibration of quarks and gluons at RHIC and LHC energies
We study chemical equilibration of quarks and gluons in central nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. The initial quark and gluon densities are taken from earlier studies as well as from recent perturbative QCD estimates and are then evolved via rate equations coupled to longitudinally boost-invariant fluid dynamics. We find that, for RHIC initial conditions, the lifetime of quark-gluon ...
