    (2nd week, Oct. 19-23) QCD Matter under Extreme Conditions

    One of the central open questions in heavy-ion collisions is how the initially far-from-equilibrium plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons evolves toward local thermal equilibrium, a process known as hydrodynamization. Despite its importance, direct experimental signatures of this early pre-equilibrium stage remain elusive. Hard probes, such as jets, produced at very early times, offer a...

    (2nd week, Oct. 19-23) QCD Matter under Extreme Conditions

    By employing the potential non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics
    (pNRQCD) effective field theory within an open quantum system framework, we derive a Lindblad equation governing the evolution of the heavy-quarkonium reduced density matrix. In this framework we study bottomonium suppression in heavy ion collisions, including oxygen-oxygen.
    We also discuss bottomonium thermalization and the...

    (2nd week, Oct. 19-23) QCD Matter under Extreme Conditions

    We describe recent results obtained from numerical simulations
    of stochastic fluid dynamics near a QCD critical point. We
    discuss results for the dynamic critical exponent, the
    critical behavior of transport coefficients, and the relaxation
    rate of equal-time correlation functions. We also discuss
    some exploratory studies of stochastic relativistic fluid
    dynamics.
