Heavy ion theory: Review of recent developments with a first principles bias
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a number of prominent theoretical challenges in the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, and review some recent attempts to tackle them. These examples cover most stages of the collision process, but emphasis is given to approaches that rely on first principles methods or well-established Effective Field Theory frameworks. The topics discussed in most detail include the early dynamics of a collision as well as the properties of quark gluon plasma in thermal equilibrium.

Recent lattice results relevant for heavy ion collisions ∗
Lattice QCD provides us with the most systematic way to calculate non-perturbative hadronic quantities directly from the first principles of QCD, without resorting to models and effective theories. Because a simulation of the fully realistic case is still difficult, we have to carry out several extrapolations to extract physical quantities of phenomenological relevance. These include the contin...
متن کاملCharmonium Production in High Energy Collisions
One motivation for studying the production of charmonium in high energy collisions is that these particles are among the simplest probes for heavy-ion collisions. In recent years, there have been significant developments in heavy quarkonium production, both in theory and in experiment. These developments may have important implications for the use of charmonium as a probe in heavy-ion collision...

متن کاملDirect photon interferometry
We consider recent developments in the theory of the two-photon interferometry in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions with emphasis on the difference between photon and hadron interferometry. We review the available experimental results and discuss possibilities of measurement of the photon Bose-Einstein correlations in ongoing and future experiments.
متن کاملStudy of elastic and piezoelectric properties of two-dimensional hexagonal III-V binary compounds: First-principles calculations
In this work, using plane wave method in the framework of density-functional theory, we calculated clamped-ion and relaxed-ion elasticity, stress and strain piezoelectric independent coefficients for seven stable combinations of honeycomb monolayers XY (X:B,Al,Ga,In ; Y:N,P,As,Sb). The coefficients calculations by two methods of density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and finite differenc...
