Mach Cones in Quark Gluon Plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
The experimental azimuthal dihadron distributions at RHIC show a double peak structure in the away side (∆φ = π ± 1.2 rad.) for intermediate pt particles. A variety of models have appeared trying to describe this modification. We will review most of them, with special emphasis in the Conical Flow scenario in which the observed shape is a consequence of the emission of sound by a supersonic high momentum particle propagating in the Quark Gluon Plasma.

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...
متن کاملA Colorful Wake for Gerhard Soff
Abstract. We calculate the wake induced in a hot QCD plasma by a fast parton in the framework of linear response theory. We discuss two scenarios: (i) a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma described by hard-thermal loop perturbation theory and (ii) a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma which resembles a quantum liquid. We show that a Mach cone can appear in the second scenario, but not in the fir...
متن کاملMach Cones and Hydrodynamic Flow : Probing Big Bang Matter in the Laboratory
A critical discussion of the present signals for the phase transition to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is given. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed from 1 to 50 A GeV laboratory bombarding energies, this observation is interpreted as potential evidence for a first-order phase transition at high baryon density. A detailed discussion of the collective flow as a b...
متن کاملJet-medium interactions: wakes in the QCD medium
We calculate the wake induced in a hot, dense QCD medium by a fast parton in the framework of linear response theory. We discuss two different scenarios: (i) a weakly coupled quark gluon plasma (pQGP) described by hardthermal loop (HTL) perturbation theory and (ii) a scenario where the plasma has the properties of a quantum liquid. We show that a Mach cone can appear in the second scenario, but...
متن کاملStable TeV - Black Hole Remnants at the LHC: Discovery through Di-Jet Suppression, Mono-Jet Emission and a Supersonic Boom in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
The production of Large Extra Dimension (LXD) Black Holes (BHs), with a new, fundamental mass scale of Mf = 1 TeV, has been predicted to occur at the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, with the formidable rate of 10 per year in p-p collisions at full energy, 14 TeV, and at full luminosity. We show that such LXD-BH formation will be experimentally observable at the LHC by the complete disappearance of ...
