In this seminar course we will look at theoretical methods of studying physics of dense, multi-body QCD matter with ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions in mind. A heavy ion collision is a dynamical multiphase process, therefore its description requires a diverse range of theoretical approaches, e.g., relativistic hydrodynamics, kinetic theory, lattice QCD, etc. The aim of this course is to introduce students to current theoretical ideas used to describe the evolution of heavy ion collisions.

Vorträge
- Mi 18.4.2018 14:15 Overview of physics in heavy ion collisions
Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Eduardo Grossi
The physical motivation of studying dense nuclear matter with heavy ion collisions. The current understanding of different stages of the evolution of heavy ion collisions. List of possible seminar topics. - Mi 25.4.2018 14:15 Relativistic hydrodynamics
Eduardo Grossi
Conservation of energy-momentum tensor. Ideal hydrodynamics. Hydrodynamic gradient expansion, shear and bulk stress-tensors. Transport coefficients. Choosing the presentation topics. - Mi 9.5.2018 14:15 Exact solutions of relativistic Navier-Stokes equations
Aleksas Mazeliauskas
I will discuss exact solutions of relativstic Navier-Stokes equations: Bjorken and Gubser flow. Bjorken flow is a starting point in understanding the expansion in heavy ion collisions. Gubser flow is an ingenious application of conformal symmetries and is widely used as a testing case for transversely expanding systems. - Mi 30.5.2018 14:15 Glauber modelling in heavy ion collisions
David Lafferty
The Monte Carlo Glauber model is used to characterise initial conditions in heavy ion collisions. I will give a theoretical overview and provide some examples of typical calculations. I will then discuss the most useful quantities that can be gained from the MC-Glauber model and how these relate to experiment. - Mi 6.6.2018 14:15 Kinetic theory of particles
