Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions from AdS/CFT
The phenomenon of jet supression observed in highly energetic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus is devoted to the stunning applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence [1] to describe these real time processes, hard to be illuminated by other means. In particular, the introduction of as many flavors as colors into the quark-gluon plasma is scrutinized.
متن کاملDrag force in AdS/CFT
The AdS/CFT correspondence and a classical test string approximation are used to calculate the drag force on an external quark moving in a thermal plasma of N = 4 superYang-Mills theory. This computation is motivated by the phenomenon of jet-quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
متن کاملLong-range rapidity correlations in heavy ion collisions at strong coupling from AdS/CFT
We use AdS/CFT correspondence to study two-particle correlations in heavy ion collisions at strong coupling. Modeling the colliding heavy ions by shock waves on the gravity side, we observe that at early times after the collision there are long-range rapidity correlations present in the two-point functions for the glueball and the energymomentum tensor operators. We estimate rapidity correlatio...
متن کاملJet Nuclear Modification Factor from the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We define a novel definition of the holographic light hadron jet by a separation of scales from plasma to jet, which leads to the re-emergence of the late-time Bragg peak in the instantaneous jet energy loss rate. We use the holographic energy loss of light quark and our new jet prescription in AdS/CFT to calculate the nuclear modification factor of jet for a brick of plasma (both static and ex...
متن کاملPhysics of Strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma
This review cover our current understanding of strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma (sQGP), especially theoretical progress in (i) explaining the RHIC data by hydrodynamics, (ii) describing lattice data using electric-magnetic duality; (iii) understanding of gauge-string duality known as AdS/CFT and its application for “conformal” plasma. In view of interdisciplinary nature of the subject, we in...
