Stress tensor and bulk viscosity in relativistic nuclear collisions
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We discuss the influence of different initial conditions for the stress tensor and the effect of bulk viscosity on the expansion and cooling of the fireball created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In particular, we ...
Probing nuclear matter with jet conversions
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We discuss the flavor of leading jet partons as a valuable probe of nuclear matter. We point out that the coupling of jets to nuclear matter naturally leads to an alteration of jet chemistry even at high transverse momentum ...
Decoherence and entropy production in relativistic nuclear collisions
(American Physical Society, 2009)
Short thermalization times of less than 1 fm/c for quark and gluon matter have been suggested by recent experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It has been difficult to justify this rapid thermalization in ...
