Robustness and infrared sensitivity of various observables in the application of AdS/CFT to heavy ion physics
… the robustness with respect to the introduction of nonconformality of five properties of strongly coupled plasmas that have been calculated in K = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory at nonzero temperature, motivated by the goal of understanding phenomena in relativistic heavy ion …

The Runny Gauge Plasma: shear viscosity to entropy for quarks and gluons
Heavy ion experiments at the LHC and RHIC have supported the existence of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which is strongly coupled and behaves as an almost ideal fluid. We shall discuss both bulk thermodynamic and off-equilibrium transport properties of the QGP, within the theory of quantum …

Calibrating and recommissioning the ALICE transition radiation detector
… LHC produces a factor 6 increase in the interaction rate of Pb-Pb collisions from 8 to 50 kHz, offering exciting new avenues of research in the field of heavy-ion physics. Changes to the ALICE experiment include the introduction of an entirely new software framework as well as an approximate 100 …

Statistical hadronization phenomenology in heavy ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies
This dissertation examines the phenomenology of statistical hadronization at ultrarelativistic energies. We start with an overview of current experimental and theoretical issues in Relativistic heavy ion physics. We then introduce statistical hadronization, and show how it gives a description of …

The reconstruction of high-pt photons with the electromagnetic calorimeter of the ALICE experiment at the LHC
In two years, the frontier of relativistic heavy ion physics will move to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will explore matter with energy densities greater than 10 times that at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), providing an opportunity to test predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics …

Search for and studies of Quark-Gluon Plasma via dynamics and productions of heavy quarks in proton-proton and heavy ion collisions at the LHC with CMS detector
Heavy flavor quarks are sensitive to both the initial stage conditions and the subsequent in-medium evolution of nuclear collisions, and thus can provide insights to the inner workings of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in large ion collisions and the origin of the collectivity in small systems. In this …

Second Order And Fluctuating Hydrodynamic Theory Of Two-Particle Transverse Momentum Correlations In Nuclear Collisions
<p>Relativistic heavy ion collision experiments show clear evidence of creation of a very short-lived phase of nuclear matter consisting of color-deconfined quarks and gluons. This matter is known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Fluctuation and correlation measurements of the detected particles …
