125. Direct photon production in high-energy nuclear collisions

Thomas Peitzmann (University of Utrecht (NL))

Section D: Deconfinement

Direct photons have always been considered a promising probe for the very early phases of high-energy nuclear collisions. Prompt photons reveal information about the initial state and its possible modifications in nuclei. In this context they should be one of the best probes for effects of gluon saturation. Thermal photons emitted from the produced matter in nuclear collisions carry...

35. Holographic thermalization at intermediate coupling

Aleksi Vuorinen (University of Bielefeld)

9/11/14, 5:00 PM

Section D: Deconfinement

I will describe recent efforts to take holographic studies of the thermalization process of heavy ion collisions away from the limits of infinite 't Hooft coupling and the Vaidya spacetime, corresponding to lightlike gravitational collapse. In particular, I will demonstrate, how classic results such as quasinormal mode spectra, the top-down pattern of thermalization and the rate of entropy...

166. Jet evolution and the Pomeron

Simon Caron-Huot (Niels Bohr Insitute)

9/11/14, 5:30 PM

Section D: Deconfinement

I will discuss the use of the Pomeron as a theoretical tool to describe the interactions between a high-energy jet and an underlying quark-gluon plasma. By varying the intercept and other properties of the Pomeron, I will argue that one obtains a robust class of models which interpolate and unify the phenomenology of weak-coupling (perturbative QCD) and strong-coupling (holographic) models.
