Description

4 talks

110. Glasma dynamics at early times

Francois Gelis

18/09/2017, 11:00

In this talk, I will discuss the description of the early stages of a heavy ion collision in the color glass condensate framework. Concerning the issue of isotropization/hydrodynamization in the final state evolution, I will present the results of various approaches (classical statistical simulations, 2PI formalism, and kinetic theory) in order to clarify their relationships.

116. Nuclear PDFs Today

Hannu Paukkunen (University of Jyväskylä)

18/09/2017, 11:30

I will review the latest developments in the global analysis of nuclear PDFs.

112. Proton shape fluctuations and their effect on flow in p+Pb collisions

Bjoern Schenke (Brookhaven National Lab)

Diffractive vector meson production measured at HERA provides information on the size of the proton and fluctuations of the proton shape. In particular the differential incoherent cross section allows us to constrain a model for proton shape fluctuations within the dipole model. We then incorporate the constrained fluctuating protons in simulations of p+Pb collisions within the IP-Glasma +...

118. Ultra-peripheral collisions

Aaron Angerami (Columbia University (US))

In ultra-relvativistic heavy-ion collisions, the intense electromagnetic fields produced by the nuclei give rise to large fluxes of equivalent photons. Photons that are emitted coherently by the entire nuclear charge is enhanced by a factor of Z^2, resulting in interaction rates much higher than in pp collisions. These reactions are the dominant interaction mechanism when the nuclei have large...
