Relativistic Hydrodynamics in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Wojciech Florkowski - Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Science, Krakow
Abstract
The lectures start with an introduction of the standard model of heavy-ion
collisions based on the use of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics combined
with modeling of the early stage and freeze-out. The phenomena of
thermalization and hydrodynamization are discussed in the context of various
theoretical approaches, including AdS/CFT. Then, various formulations of
viscous hydrodynamics (starting from the Navier-Stokes version and ending on
several very recently constructed versions) are presented and compared to
each other. Finally, the possibility of including spin dynamics in the
hydrodynamical equations and the general applicability range of hydrodynamics
are discussed.

Studies of Hadron Production in Nuclear Medium by LHCb
Valery Pugach - Institute for Nuclear Research, Kiev
Abstract
The LHCb forward spectrometer, designed for CP violation studies, has also
become a perfect tool for measuring properties of hadron production in
nuclear medium. Recent results will be presented for nucleus-nucleus
interactions in colliding mode (the NN cms energy of 5 and 8 TeV) as well as
in a fixed target mode (cms energy about 100 GeV). Events distribution over the
transverse momentum (0.15< pT <6 GeV/c ) and rapidity (-5< y<-2.5 and
1.5< y<4) as well as corresponding nuclear modification factors are discussed
in terms of some theoretical approaches.
