Higgs Centre colloquium
Transport and Equilibration in Hot Quantum Chromodynamics Abstract
- Event time: 1:00pm until 2:00pm
- Event date: 10th April 2026
- Speaker: Guy Moore (Technische Universität Darmstadt)
- Location: Higgs Centre (Room 4305), James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
Heavy ion collisions are a laboratory to explore the strong interactions - QCD - under extremes of temperature and density. I will give a theorist's-eye view of heavy ion collisions and the role of nonequilibrium physics. I will discuss the role of viscous hydrodynamics, and the attempts and obstacles to first-principles calculations of the shear viscosity and other transport coefficients, including a novel approach to tunneling phenomena.
