Initial-state geometry and the role of hydrodynamics in proton-proton, proton-nucleus, and deuteron-nucleus collisions

A Bzdak, B Schenke, P Tribedy, R Venugopalan - Physical Review C—Nuclear …, 2013 - APS
We apply the successful Monte Carlo Glauber and IP-Glasma initial-state models of heavy-
ion collisions to the much smaller size systems produced in proton-proton, proton-nucleus …

Dissipative hydrodynamics and heavy-ion collisions

R Baier, P Romatschke, UA Wiedemann - Physical Review C—Nuclear …, 2006 - APS
Recent discussions of RHIC data emphasized the exciting possibility that the matter
produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions shows properties of a near-perfect fluid. Here, we …
