Holographic Heavy-Ion Collisions: Analytic Solutions with Longitudinal Flow, Elliptic Flow and Vorticity
Hans Bantilan🇬🇧 · Takaaki Ishii🇳🇱 · Paul Romatschke🇺🇸
We consider phenomenological consequences arising from simple analytic solutions for holographic heavy-ion collisions. For these solutions, early-time longitudinal flow is initially negative (inward), sizable direct, elliptic, and quadrangular flow is generated, and the average vorticity of the system is tunable by a single parameter. Despite large vorticity and angular momentum, we show that the system does not complete a single rotation.
