Long-Range and Short-Range Longitudinal Flow Decorrelations in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
feeds.aps.org · By Jiangyong Jia (贾江涌), Shengli Huang (黄胜利), Chunjian Zhang (张春健) & Somadutta Bhatta ·
The Brief
- The paper studies the longitudinal structure of the quark-gluon plasma, which the authors describe as poorly constrained.
- It uses a transport-model calculation of two-particle elliptic-flow correlations V2Δ(Δη).
- The source text is truncated, so its findings are not available here.
Why it matters
Better constraints on how the quark-gluon plasma varies along the collision axis help test and refine models of heavy-ion collisions.
