Parallel session 16: Collective dynamics & small systems II
- Charles Gale
Quarkonium production has long been identified as one of the golden probes to study the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Among many observables, the measurement of azimuthal anisotropies in quarkonium production has a special role to shed light on the collective behavior of particles in a strongly interacting medium. In particular, the magnitude of the $\rm{J}/\psi$ elliptic flow measured at the LHC...
Characterizing the quark--gluon plasma (QGP) created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions requires identifying observables sensitive to different stages of the collision. Recent studies show that measuring collective anisotropic flow and the complex interplay between its Fourier harmonics ($v_n$) and $(\Psi_n$) can effectively disentangle contributions from various collision phases,...
The observation of collective-like behaviors in pp and p–Pb collisions at LHC energies has sparked debate about the similarities between the dynamics of small systems and heavy-ion collisions. In this talk, our latest published results are presented, showing baryon-meson $v_{\rm 2}$ grouping (within 1$\sigma$) and significant splitting (approximately 5$\sigma$) at intermediate $p_{\rm T}$ in...
The evolution of a relativistic heavy-ion collision is typically understood as a process that transmutes the initial geometry of the system into the final momentum distribution of observed hadrons, which can be described via a cumulant expansion of the initial distribution of energy density and is represented at leading order as the well-known eccentricity scaling of anisotropic flow. We...
We present BHAC-QGP, an advanced numerical code designed to simulate the evolution of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions with enhanced accuracy in the presence of magnetic field. Building on the foundation of the Black Hole Accretion Code (BHAC), which solves general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) equations for astrophysical phenomena, BHAC-QGP adapts these capabilities...
