Date and Time: Thursday, 6 June 2019, at 2:30 PM

Venue: Blokhintsev Hall (4th floor), Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics

Seminar topic: “Space-time picture and bulk observables in relativistic heavy ion collisions”

Speaker: Yuri Sinyukov (BITP, Kiev, Ukraine)

Abstract:

We analyze the experimental data in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the RHIC and LHC, such as the particle number ratios, hadron&photon spectra and their anisotropy coefficients v_n, also femtoscopy correlations, within the full evolutionary model. The latter includes formation of the initial state and initial conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions, a gradual (partial) thermalization of the matter created, subsequent viscous hydrodynamic relativistic expansion of quark-gluon plasma, hadronization process, particlization of the hadron matter and, finally, scattering of secondary particles and spectra formation. Within such an integrated HydroKinetic Model (iHKM) we predict some effects and present the physical interpretation of the results.
