Strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma and its modeling via Molecular Dynamics
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
The talk starts with a brief discussion of the differences between electromagnetic and Non-Abelian plasma, which include non-constant (``rotating") color charges and magnetically charged quasiparticles - monopoles and dyons. We then summarize experimental evidences for strongly coupled regime, from RHIC experiments on heavy ion collisions. Two transport observables -- the diffusion constant and viscosity -- will be discussed specifically. The settings of MD simulations and its first results on these transport properties be presented as a summary. If time permits, we will also compare them to the analytical results recently obtained using string theory methods, via the so called AdS/CFT correspondence.
