Nuclear Theory 2023-10-19 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

Solutions of shock waves in anisotropic relativistic hydrodynamics in the absence of refraction of the flow passing through the shock wave are considered. The existence of a critical value of the anisotropy parameter is shown. This value is the upper limit below which an adequate description of shock waves is possible. Shock wave solutions also provide a mechanism for system isotropization.
