Space-time evolution and subsequent particle production from minimally viscous ($\eta/s$=0.08) QGP fluid is studied using the 2nd order Israel-Stewart's theory of dissipative relativistic fluid. Compared to ideal fluid, energy density or…
In using transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton densities and fragmentation functions, important non-perturbative information is at large transverse position $b_T$. This concerns both the TMD functions and their evolution. Fits to high…
One of the fundamental signatures of the Quark Gluon Plasma has been the suppression of heavy flavor (specifically D mesons), which has been measured via the nuclear modification factor, $R_{AA}$ and azimuthal anisotropies, $v_n$, in large…
We present high-$p_T$ $R_{AB}$ and $v_2$ from a perturbative quantum chromodynamics-based energy loss model that includes event-by-event hydrodynamic evolution of the medium and small system size corrections to the energy loss. The model is…
We compute the in-medium jet broadening $\langle p_\perp^2\rangle$ to leading order in energy in the opacity expansion. At leading order in $\alpha_s$ the elastic energy loss gives a jet broadening that grows with $\ln E$. The…

In a previous paper, we have shown that it was possible to use the DGLAP evolution equatio n to constrain the high-$Q^2$ ($Q^2 \ge 10$ GeV$^2$) behaviour of the residues of a high-e nergy Regge model, and we applied the developed method to…
We assume that the early evolution of matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is described by the transverse hydrodynamics. In this approach only transverse degrees of freedom are thermalized, while the longitudinal motion is…
We show that by requiring positivity of the longitudinal pressure it is possible to constrain the initial conditions one can use in 2nd-order viscous hydrodynamical simulations of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We demonstrate this…
We study the consistency between high-pT nuclear suppression (R_AA) and elliptic flow (v2) using Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev (GLV) energy loss or a simpler power-law dE/dL formula, for a variety of bulk evolution models. The results generally…
The expansion of the Universe in $f(R,T)$ gravity is studied. We consider functions of the form $f(R,T)=R+\lambda T^\epsilon$ where $\epsilon<1$. We find that for all models with $\epsilon<0$, the Universe transitions to exponential growth…
We use leading order effective kinetic theory to simulate the pre\nobreakdash-equilibrium evolution of transverse energy and flow perturbations in heavy-ion collisions. We provide a Green function which propagates the initial perturbations…

In relativistic heavy ion collisions, the $p_T$ distributions of hadrons reflect the transverse motion generated during the collision and therefore the collision dynamics. The moderate $p_T$ values measured to date at $\sqrt{s} \approx $ 20…
