102. Initial conditions for hydrodynamics from weakly coupled pre-equilibrium evolution

We use effective kinetic theory, accurate at weak coupling, to simulate the preequilibrium evolution of transverse energy and flow perturbations in heavy-ion collisions. We provide a Green function which propagates the initial perturbations to the energymomentum tensor at a time when hydrodynamics becomes applicable. With this map, the complete pre-thermal evolution from saturated nuclei to...

76. QCD equation of state at high temperatures

Alexei Bazavov (Michigan State University)

2/1/17, 11:25 AM

The equation of state (EoS) in 2+1 flavor QCD has recently been established in the continuum limit at the physical quark masses. The HotQCD collaboration result provides the EoS in the temperature range from 130 to 400 MeV. We extend the HotQCD equation of state to higher temperatures. We utilize the Highly Improved Staggered Quarks (HISQ) action. We perform computations at the pion mass of...

88. Heavy Flavor Production at RHIC

Dr Lijuan Ruan (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

2/1/17, 11:50 AM

I will review the most recent open heavy flavor and quarkonium results at RHIC and present how we use the heavy flavor probes to study the properties of the medium created at RHIC.
