Before each seminar, the speaker gives an informal Pre-Talk, introducing the MSc and PhD students at the ITP to the broader context of the topic of the seminar.
Pre-Talks start at 3:30 pm
Date: 16.11.2017
Speaker: Wojciech Florkowski (Krakau U.)
Title: Strongly interacting matter in extreme conditions: insights from hydrodynamic modeling of heavy ion collisions
Abstract
I the first part of the talk I will review several physics features of strongly interacting matter (such as, for example, equation of state and kinetic coefficients) that have been established by comparing heavy-ion data with hydrodynamic models. Then I will turn to the general problems of applicability of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, in particular, for description of the early stages of heavy-ion collisions. Finally, I will turn to observables connected with polarization of the observed particles and comment on recent developments of relativistic fluid hydrodynamics with spin.
