Many-body high energy QCD: from wee partons to the perfect fluid
Date: Thursday, April 29th
Time: 4:00 pm
Place: 4274 Chamberlin
Speaker: Raju Venugopalan, Brookhaven National Laboratory
Abstract: A high energy hadron can be visualized as a Lorentz contracted core of valence partons accompanied by a furry sea of wee partons. The many-body properties of these wee
partons and their evolution with energy can be described by a weak coupling effective field theory called the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). Novel factorization theorems allow us to understand quantitatively the early time
dynamics of heavy-ion collisions when two CGCs shatter forming a classical fluid called the Glasma. We discuss the properties of this Glasma and some of its experimental manifestations in heavy-ion collisions.
If time permits, we shall outline outstanding conceptual issues in understanding the evolution of the Glasma into the Quark-Gluon Plasma.
Host: Michael Ramsey-Musolf
