  8. Momentum space anisotropy Time dependence Michael Strickland

  9. Electromagnetic signals from an anisotropic plasma Use evolving anisotropic momentum space distribution: instant isotropization (hydro) free streaming use interpolating model between these limits: Dilepton yield can be a measure for the isotropization of the plasma Martinez, Strickland, arXiv:0709.3576 Similar for photons: Schenke, Strickland, Phys.Rev.D76:025023,2007.

  10. Colored-Particle-In-Cell (CPIC-) simulation • Numerically solve the Vlasov equation coupled to the Yang Mills equation using a test particle ansatz, leading to the Wong-Yang-Mills equations: Solve using smeared colored particles convergent results with less test particles • Investigate systems (early phase of HIC) that are locally anisotropic in momentum space: A. Dumitru, Y. Nara, M. Strickland Phys.Rev.D75:025016, 2007

  11. Chromo-Weibel-instabilities • In an anisotropic system Weibel instabilities occur due to current filamentation: • Exponential growth of unstable field modes faster isotropization of hard particles • Outlook: inclusion of hard collisions / particle-field conversion / jet physics A. Dumitru, Y. Nara, M. Strickland, Phys.Rev.D75:025016, 2007 B. Schenke, M. Strickland, C. Greiner, M.H. Thoma, Phys.Rev.D73:125004,2006

  13. z y x Motion Is Hydrodynamic • When does thermalization occur? • Strong evidence that final state bulk behavior reflects the initial state geometry • Because the initial azimuthal asymmetrypersists in the final statedn/df ~ 1 + 2v2(pT) cos (2 f) + ... 2v2

  18. Dissipative Hydrodynamics Shear, bulk viscosity and heat conductivity of dense QCD matter could be prime candidates for the next Particle Data Group, if they can be extracted from data. Need a causal hydrodynamical theory. What are the criteria of applicability? Causal stable hydrodynamics can be derrived from the Boltzmann Equation: -Renormalization Group Method by Kunihiro/Tsumura-->stable 1st Order linearized BE with f=f0+εf1+ε²f2 yields (2nd Order – work in progress) can be solved by introducing projector P on Ker{A}, where A-linearized collision operator -Grad‘s 14-momentum method-->2nd Order causal hydrodynamics. Calculate momenta of the BE. Transport coefficients and relaxation times for dissipative quantities can be calculated as functions of collision terms in BE. Compare dissipative relaxation times to the mean free pass from cascade simulation. Andrej El
