Hydrodynamic analysis of heavy ion collisions at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
Current status of dynamical modeling of relativistic heavy ion collisions and hydrodynamic description of the quark gluon plasma is reported. We find the hadronic rescattering effect plays an important role in interpretation of mass splitting pattern in the differential elliptic flow data observed at RHIC. To demonstrate this, we predict the elliptic flow parameter for φ mesons to directly observe the flow just after hadronisation. We also discuss recent applications of outputs from hydrodynamic calculations to J/ψ suppression, thermal photon radiation and heavy quark diffusion.

متن کاملUniversal Flow in the Early Stages at RHIC
Pre-thermal flow plays an important role in the final state evolution of heavy ion collisions at RHIC. We show that flow has universal features for a wide range of models. This significantly reduces the uncertainty in initializing hydrodynamic models at RHIC.
متن کاملHydrodynamic Aspects of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at Rhic
Among the many predictions made for observables of collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), hydrodynamic calculations regarding the expected flow characteristics turned out to be surprisingly accurate already a few months after running the new facility. In fact, those predictions were so convincing that they were awarded a bottle of wine in the RHIC prediction competition. That...
متن کاملHeavy flavor in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and RHIC II
In the initial years of operation, experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have identified a new form of matter formed in nuclei-nuclei collisions at energy densities more than 100 times that of a cold atomic nucleus. Measurements and comparison with relativistic hydrodynamic models indicate that the matter thermalizes in an unexpectedly short time, has an energy density at le...
متن کاملRelativistic Hydrodynamics at RHIC and LHC
Recent development of a hydrodynamic model is discussed by putting an emphasis on realistic treatment of the early and late stages in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The model, which incorporates a hydrodynamic description of the quark-gluon plasma with a kinetic approach of hadron cascades, is applied to analysis of elliptic flow data at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energy. It is pre...
