130. Isolating Initial State Fluctuations from Medium Effects

Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler (University of Houston)

9/18/17, 4:30 PM

Elliptical and triangular flow, $v_n$, are approximately linear correlated with the initial eccentricities $\varepsilon_n$'s. Traditional single-harmonic measurements such as ratios of multi-particle cumulants $v_n\{m\}$ can, therefore, provide unique information about the initial state. In this talk, the skewness of the initial eccentricity fluctuations, the fluctuations of $v_2$ vs. $v_3$...

127. Transport from the fluid-gravity correspondence

Michael Lublinsky

9/18/17, 5:00 PM

At first, a brief overview of high order (beyond Navier Stokes) linear hydrodynamics will be given.
Then the focus will be shifted to fluid-gravity correspondence. Basic ideas behind the formalism
will be reviewed and the main results on high (all) order transports presented. If time permits,
I will also talk about anomaly-induced transports computed from holography.

101. Momentum anisotropy in the quark-gluon plasma

Dr Michael Strickland (Kent State University)

9/18/17, 5:30 PM

The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions possesses a
high degree of momentum-space anisotropy in the local rest frame due to
rapid longitudinal expansion. The degree of momentum-space anisotropy
is largest at early times after the initial nuclear impact, e.g. P_L/P_T
~ 0.2-0.3, and only slowly relaxes toward unity in the center of the
fireball. Additionally, large...
