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 …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

The electromagnetic response of hot QCD matter to decaying external magnetic fields is
investigated. We examine the validity of Ohm's law and find that the induced electric current …

We compute initial conditions in heavy ion collisions within the color glass condensate
framework by combining the impact parameter dependent saturation model with the …

In this review, we present an up-to-date phenomenological summary of research
developments in the physics of the Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP). A short historical …

The event-by-event multiplicity distribution, the energy densities and energy density
weighted eccentricity moments ε n (up to n= 6) at early times in heavy-ion collisions at both …

The nonequilibrium evolution of heavy-ion collisions is studied in the limit of weak coupling
at very high energy employing lattice simulations of the classical Yang-Mills equations …

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 …

We study the thermalization process in highly occupied non-Abelian plasmas at weak
coupling. The nonequilibrium dynamics of such systems is classical in nature and can be …

In this paper we review recent progress in relativistic anisotropic hydrodynamics. We begin
with a pedagogical introduction to the topic which takes into account the advances in our …
