Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

The success of relativistic hydrodynamics as an essential part of the phenomenological
description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC has motivated a significant body of …

We introduce a new parametric initial-condition model for high-energy nuclear collisions
based on eikonal entropy deposition via a “reduced-thickness” function. The model …

We provide an overview of the status of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy
particle physics. Guided by the experimental needs and requirements, we highlight areas of …

In this review article, we discuss the current status and future prospects of perturbation
theory as a means of studying the equilibrium thermodynamic and near-equilibrium …

High-energy nuclear collisions produce a nonequilibrium plasma of quarks and gluons
which thermalizes and exhibits hydrodynamic flow. There are currently no practical …

We numerically solve the (2+ 1)-dimensional effective kinetic theory of weak coupling QCD
under longitudinal expansion, relevant for early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We find …

We present an introductory review of the early-time dynamics of high-energy heavy-ion
collisions and the kinetics of high-temperature quantum chromodynamic matter. The …

The standard model could be self-consistent up to the Planck scale according to the present
measurements of the Higgs boson mass and top quark Yukawa coupling. It is therefore …

We review recent theoretical developments in the study of the structure of jets that are
produced in ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions. The core of the review focusses on the …
