Ultra Relativistic Fluid Collisions
ORAL
Abstract
We describe numerical simulations of the head-on collision of stars in the ultra relativistic regime. This work explores the idea that sufficiently boosted particles generically form black holes, as well as the competition between gravitational and hydro-dynamics. We investigate the degree to which the hoop conjecture describes the dynamics of black hole formation and the role of matter near the threshold for black hole formation.
