Hydrodynamic modeling of deconfinement phase transition in nuclear collision

Deconfinement Phase Transition in QCD

Hydrodynamical modeling of the deconfinement phase transition and explosive hadronization

Dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is investigated on the basis of a simple (1+1)dimensional hydrodynamical model in light-cone coordinates. The main emphasis is put on studying sensitivity of the dynamics and observables to the equation of state and initial conditions. Low sensitivity of pion rapidity spectra to the presence of the phase transition is demonstrated, and some inconsis...

Deconfinement Transition vs Nuclear Liquid Gas Transition

The Deconfinement Phase Transition in Asymmetric Matter

We study the phase transition of asymmetric hadronic matter to a quarkgluon plasma within the framework of a simple two-phase model. The analysis is performed in a system with two conserved charges (baryon number and isospin) using the stability conditions on the free energy, the conservation laws and Gibbs’ criteria for phase equilibrium. The EOS is obtained in a separate description for the h...

Fluctuations near the Deconfinement Phase Transition Boundary

In this talk I discuss how a first order phase transition may proceed in rapidly expanding partonic matter produced in a relativistic heavy-ion collision. The resulting picture is that a strong collective flow of matter will lead to the fragmentation of a metastable phase into droplets. If the transition from quark-gluon plasma to hadron gas is of the first order, it will manifest itself by str...
