• Early- and Late-Time Behavior of Attractors in Heavy-Ion Collisions 

      Kurkela, Aleksi; van der Schee, Wilke; Wiedemann, Urs Achim; Wu, Bin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Whether, how, and to what extent solutions of Bjorken-expanding systems become insensitive to aspects of their initial conditions is of importance for heavy-ion collisions. Here we study 1+1D and phenomenologically relevant ...
    • Flow in AA and pA as an interplay of fluid-like and non-fluid like excitations 

      Kurkela, Aleksi; Wiedemann, Urs Achim; Wu, Bin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      To study the microscopic structure of quark–gluon plasma, data from hadronic collisions must be confronted with models that go beyond fluid dynamics. Here, we study a simple kinetic theory model that encompasses fluid ...
    • Hydrodynamization in systems with detailed transverse profiles 

      Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Taghavi, Seyed Farid; Wiedemann, Urs Achim; Wu, Bin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The observation of fluid-like behavior in nucleus-nucleus (AA), proton-nucleus (pA) and high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions motivates systematic studies of how different measurements approach their fluid-dynamic ...
    • Opacity dependence of elliptic flow in kinetic theory 

      Kurkela, Aleksi; Wiedemann, Urs Achim; Wu, Bin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09)
      The observation of large azimuthal anisotropies vn in the particle spectra of proton–proton (pp) and proton–nucleus (pA) collisions challenges fluid dynamic interpretations of vn, as it remains unclear how small collision ...
