Prof. Dmitri Kharzeev (Stony Brook and BNL)23/05/2011, 15:00New theoretical developmentsParallelAn overview of the recent progress in understanding the interplay of quantum anomalies, chirality, and magnetic field in the dynamics of QCD fluid will be presented. The current theoretical description of the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical effects within anomalous magnetohydrodynamics will be described. It allows a quantitative approach to these phenomena in heavy ion...Go to contribution page

Berndt Mueller (Duke University)23/05/2011, 15:20New theoretical developmentsParallelUsing the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale-dependence of thermalization in strongly coupled field theories following a quench, via calculations of 2-point functions, Wilson loops and entanglement entropy in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions. In the saddlepoint approximation these probes are computed in AdS space in terms of invariant geometric objects -- geodesics, minimal surfaces and...Go to contribution page

Dr Jorge Casalderrey Solana (CERN)23/05/2011, 15:40New theoretical developmentsParallelThe recent results at the LHC on jet quenching in heavy ion collisions call for a fundamental understanding of the evolution of a relatively hard jet propagating through a QCD medium like the quark--gluon plasma. As a first step in that sense, we consider the interference pattern for the medium--induced gluon radiation produced by a color singlet quark--antiquark antenna embedded in a...Go to contribution page

Dr Yacine Mehtar-Tani (University of Santiago de Compostela)23/05/2011, 16:00New theoretical developmentsParallelJet physics in hadronic collisions is one of the major achievements of perturbative QCD. However, a complete theory of jets in a hot and dense partonic environment remains to be developed. Such a theory is needed in Heavy-Ion Collisions (HIC), at RHIC and now at the LHC, in order to have a clean access to the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). To this end, we have investigated...Go to contribution page

Prof. Yuri Kovchegov (The Ohio State University)23/05/2011, 16:20New theoretical developmentsParallelWe calculate running coupling corrections for the lowest-order gluon production cross section in high energy hadronic and nuclear scattering using the BLM scale-setting prescription. In the final answer for the cross section the three powers of fixed coupling are replaced by seven factors of running coupling, five in the numerator and two in the denominator, forming a 'septumvirate' of running...Go to contribution page

Giovanni Antonio Chirilli (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL))23/05/2011, 16:40New theoretical developmentsParallelThe high-energy behavior of amplitudes in gauge theories can be reformulated in terms of the evolution of Wilson-line operators. In the leading order this evolution is governed by the non-linear Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. In order to see if this equation is relevant for existing or future DIS accelerators (like EIC or LeHC) one needs to know how large are the next-to-leading order...Go to contribution page
