Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions: Viscous Hydrodynamic Simulations and Final State Interactions Matthew W. Luzum Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gerald A. Miller Department of Physics In this dissertation I introduce relativistic heavy ion collisions and describe theoretical approaches to understanding them—in particular, viscous hydrodynamic simulations and investigations of fin...
متن کاملThoughts on Non-Perturbative Thermalization and Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions
We start by presenting physical arguments for the impossibility of perturbative thermalization leading to (non-viscous) Bjorken hydrodynamic description of heavy ion collisions. These arguments are complimentary to our more formal argument presented in [1]. We argue that the success of hydrodynamic models in describing the quark-gluon system produced in heavy ion collisions could only be due to...
متن کاملThree-Fluid Simulations of Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Probing Equation of State (EoS) of QCD matter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is still a fascinating problem inspiring new experimental projects [1]. Hydrodynamic models have an advantage that they directly address EoS of hot and dense nuclear matter, which is of prime interest for this domain of physics. We have developed 3D 3fluid relativistic hydrodynamic model [2, 3] for simulating hea...
متن کاملHydrodynamic models
Recent developments based on relativistic hydrodynamic models in high energy heavy ion collisions are discussed. I focus especially on how hydrodynamics works at RHIC energies and how one can use the most of it in analyses of jet quenching and thermal electromagnetic radiations. I also comment on improvement of initial conditions and viscosity in hydrodynamic models.
