We introduce a model for heavy ion collisions named trajectum, which includes an
expanded initial stage with a variable free streaming velocity v fs and a hydrodynamic stage …

We investigate the correlation between various aspects of the initial geometry of heavy ion
collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energies and the final anisotropic flow …

Causality is violated in the early stages of state-of-the-art heavy-ion hydrodynamic
simulations. Such violations are present in up to 75% of the fluid cells in the initial time and …

We explore theoretical uncertainties in the hydrodynamic description of relativistic heavy-ion
collisions by examining the full nonlinear causality conditions and quantifying the second …

Transport simulations are very valuable for extracting physics information from heavy-ion-
collision experiments. With the emergence of many different transport codes in recent years …

We review the phenomenology and theory of bulk observables in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions, focusing on recent developments involving event-by-event fluctuations in the …

We review progress in the hydrodynamic description of heavy-ion collisions, focusing on
recent developments in modeling the fluctuating initial state and event-by-event viscous …

The i S3D particlization module simulates the emission of hadrons from heavy-ion collisions
via Monte-Carlo sampling of the Cooper–Frye formula which converts fluid dynamical …

We study causal viscous hydrodynamics in the context of central relativistic heavy-ion
collisions and provide details of a straightforward numerical algorithm to solve the …

I develop and apply a Bayesian method for quantitatively estimating properties of the quark-
gluon plasma (QGP), an extremely hot and dense state of fluid-like matter created in …
