Equilibration and Out-of-equilibrium Effect in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
The approach of a parton plasma at future heavy ion colliders towards kinetic and chemical equilibrium is considered. A plasma with a self-consistent evolving parton-parton interaction strength is shown to equilibrate better and faster than the usual but inconsistent one with a fixed strength. We explain why as a consequence of this, a parton plasma is a unique kind of many-body system. Because our time evolution scheme does not require the plasma to be in either kind of equilibrium from the outset, out-of-equilibrium effect on particle productions can be revealed. We show this on photon production and discuss the implications on photon as a signal to detect the quark-gluon plasma. IASA 98-3, UA/NPPS-98-13

Isospin Equilibration in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions * †
We study the kinetic and chemical equilibration of projectile and target nucleons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in the energy regime between 150 AMeV and 2 AGeV in a coupled-channel BUU (CBUU) approach. We find that equilibrium in the projectile-target degrees of freedom is in general not reached even for large systems at low energy where elastic nucleon-nucleon collisions dominate. Inel...

We study thermodynamic characteristica of ultra-relativistic Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy √ s N N = 200 GeV within the framework of a microscopic transport model, namely the quark-gluon string model (QGSM). The temporal evolution of the local energy density, transverse and longitudinal pressure and equilibration times are considered. In contrast to complete equilibration which is even in cen...
متن کاملDiffusion or bounce back in relativistic heavy-ion collisions?
The time evolution of pseudorapidity distributions of produced charged hadrons in d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV is investigated. Results of a nonequilibrium-statistical Relativistic Diffusion Model with three sources are compared with a macroscopic ”bounce back” model that does not allow for statistical equilibration at large times, but instead leads to motion reversal. When compared to th...

We report on a new equilibration scenario in relativistic heavy ion collisions, the scenario of the Increasingly Strongly Interacting Parton Plasma, and the effects of this scenario on equilibration and open charm, photon and dilepton production. The parton plasma is shown to be a very special kind of many-body system, which contains new physics concerning the approach towards equilibrium. This...
متن کاملLocal Thermal and Chemical Equilibration and the Equation of State in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Thermodynamical variables and their time evolution are studied for central relativistic heavy ion collisions from 10.7 to 160 AGeV in the microscopic Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD). The UrQMD model exhibits drastic deviations from equilibrium during the early high density phase of the collision. Local thermal and chemical equilibration of the hadronic matter seems to...
