We propose a new analogue model of gravity - the evolving quark gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. This quark gluon plasma is the “most inviscid” fluid known. Such low kinematic viscosity is ...

We show that the recently formulated causal and stable first-order hydrodynamics has the same dynamics as Israel-Stewart theory for boost-invariant, Bjorken expanding systems with an ideal gas equation of state and a ...

We derive a formula that defines quantum fluctuations of energy in subsystems of a hot relativistic gas. For small subsystem sizes we find substantial increase of fluctuations compared to those known from standard thermodynamic ...

In this article, there are 18 sections discussing various current topics in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena, which will serve as a snapshot of the current state of the art. Section 1 ...

Explicit expressions for quantum fluctuations of energy in subsystems of a hot relativistic gas of spin-1/2 particles are derived. The results depend on the form of the energy-momentum tensor used in the calculations, ...

The presence of a nonvanishing thermal gradient and/or a chemical potential gradient in a conducting medium can lead to an electric field—an effect known as thermoelectric effect or Seebeck effect. We discuss here the ...

We consider the quantum kinetic-theory description for interacting massive spin-half fermions using the Wigner function formalism. We derive a general kinetic theory description assuming that the spin effects appear at the ...

We discuss the quantum statistical fluctuations of energy in subsystems of hot relativistic gas for both spin-zero and spin-half particles. We explicitly show the system size dependence of the quantum statistical fluctuation ...

Bulk matter produced in heavy ion collisions can have multiple conserved quantum numbers like baryon number, strangeness and electric charge. The diffusion process of these charges can be described by a diffusion matrix ...

In this proceeding, we discuss a mapping between the well-explored Israel–Stewart (IS) theory of dissipative relativistic hydrodynamics and the recently formulated causal and stable first-order hydrodynamics (FOCS), for ...
