Abstract At the earliest times after a heavy-ion collision, magnetic field created by spectator nucleons will generate an extremely strong, albeit rapidly decreasing in time, field. The impact of this may have detectable consequences, and is believed to drive anomalous transport effects like Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). We detail exploratory study on dynamical hydrodynamic medium collisions two ultrarelativistic heavy-ions, using framework numerical ideal MagnetoHydroDynamics (MHD) with...
To assess the degree of equilibration matter created in heavy-ion reactions at low to intermediate beam energies, a hadronic transport approach (SMASH) is employed. By using coarse-graining method, we compute energy momentum tensor system fixed time steps and evaluate isotropy diagonal terms relative magnitude off-diagonal terms. This study focuses mostly on Au+Au collisions range $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.4-7.7 GeV, but central lighter ions like C+C, Ar+KCl Ag+Ag are considered as well. We...

To leading linear order, modes with different azimuthal wave numbers do not mix. When quadratic higher order corrections are numerically sizable, they as overtones corresponding series.

The HADES experiment at GSI has recently provided data on the flow coefficients v1,...,v4 for protons in Au+Au reactions Elab=1.23AGeV (or sNN=2.4GeV). This allows to estimate shear viscosity over entropy density ratio, η/s low energies via a coarse graining analysis of UrQMD transport simulations harmonics comparison experimental data. By this we can provide first time an η/s≈0.65±0.15 (8±2)(4π)−1) such energies.
We show that the inclusion of a recently found additional term spin polarization vector at local equilibrium which is linear in symmetrized gradients velocity field, and assumption hadron production constant temperature restore quantitative agreement between hydrodynamic model predictions measurements relativistic heavy ion collisions sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The longitudinal component turns out to be very sensitive value, with good fit around 155 MeV. implications this finding are discussed.
