Some Features of the Glasma

چکیده
We discuss high energy hadronic collisions within the theory of the Color Glass Condensate. We point out that the initial electric and magnetic fields produced in such collisions are longitudinal. This leads to a novel string like description of the collisions, and a large Chern-Simons charge density made immediately after the collision. The presence of the longitudinal magnetic field suggests that essential to the description of these collisions is the decay of Chern-Simons charge.

How particles emerge from decaying classical fields in heavy in collisions: towards a kinetic description of the Glasma
We develop the formalism discussed previously in hep-ph/0601209 and hep-ph/0605246 to construct a kinetic theory that provides insight into the earliest “Glasma” stage of a high energy heavy ion collision. Particles produced from the decay of classical fields in the Glasma obey a Boltzmann equation whose novel features include an inhomogeneous source term and new contributions to the collision ...
متن کاملThe Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma: Two Lectures
These two lectures concern the Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma. These are forms of matter which might be studied in high energy hadronic collisions. The Color Glass Condensate is high energy density gluonic matter. It constitutes the part of a hadron wavefunction important for high energy processes. The Glasma is matter produced from the Color Glass Condensate in the first instants after ...

متن کاملThe Color Glass Condensate, Glasma and the Quark Gluon Plasma in the Context of Recent pPb Results from LHC
This paper describes some of the implications of the LHC pPb experimental results for understanding the Color Glass Condensate, the Glasma and the thermalized Quark Gluon Plasma. I attempt to outline the scientific issues, various possible explanations about what has been seen, and present ideas on how some of the alternative explanations might be resolved.
متن کاملEvent-by-event anisotropic flow in heavy-ion collisions from combined Yang-Mills and viscous fluid dynamics.
Anisotropic flow coefficients v(1)-v(5) in heavy ion collisions are computed by combining a classical Yang-Mills description of the early time Glasma flow with the subsequent relativistic viscous hydrodynamic evolution of matter through the quark-gluon plasma and hadron gas phases. The Glasma dynamics, as realized in the impact parameter dependent Glasma (IP-Glasma) model, takes into account ev...
