Collective Dynamics at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
The property of the “perfect liquid” created at RHIC is probed with anisotropic flow measurements. Different initial conditions and their consequences on flow measurements are discussed. The collectivity is shown to be achieved fast and early. The thermalization is investigated with the ratio of v4/v 2 2 . Measurements from three sectors of soft physics (HBT, flow and strangeness) are shown to have a simple, linear, length scaling. Directed flow is found to be independent of system size.

Rischke RIKEN-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, NY 11973, USA (September 17, 1998) We calculate the transverse momentum spectra of various hadrons and clusters (π, K, N , Φ, Λ, Ω, d, ΛΛ, He) in central Au+Au at √ s = 200A GeV (RHIC energy) up to pT = 4 GeV within hydrodynamics....
متن کاملGlobal Observables at RHIC
The first three measurements from the RHIC program were results on global observables: charged particle multiplicity (Nch), transverse energy (ET ) and elliptic flow (v2). They offer a look at the large-scale features of particle production in high-energy nuclear collisions, with particular insight into entropy production and collective behavior. Results from all of the RHIC experiments are dis...
متن کاملEmerging Theory of Strongly Coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma
RHIC data have shown robust collective flows, including recent spectacular “conical flow” from quenched jets: that confirms that QGP above the critical line is in a strongly coupled regime. One way to study Non-Abelian classical strongly coupled plasmas is via molecular dynamics, which was recently extended to plasmas with electric and magntic charges. First results on its transport (diffusion ...
متن کاملFreeze-out dynamics at RHIC
Investigation of the final hadronic state properties of ultrarelativistics pp and Au+Au collisions supplies information on freeze-out conditions at RHIC and possible insights into early stages of these collisions. A variety of particle spectra measured by STAR are studied within the framework of chemical and local kinetic equlibrium models. Here we present the extracted chemical and final kinet...

We present a short review of our results on the collectivity and the suppression pattern of charmed mesons in heavy-ion collisions based on the microscopic Hadron-String Dynamics (HSD) transport approach for different scenarios of charm interactions with the surrounding matter – the ‘comover’ dissociation by mesons with further recreation byD−D̄ channels and ‘pre-hadronic’ interaction scenarios....
