Outlook
• Physical picture of formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma in heavy-ions collisions
• Holography description of QGP in equilibrium
• Holography description of heavy-ions collisions
• New formula for multiplicity• Further directions
Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP): a new state of matter
QGP is a state of matter formed from deconfined quarks, antiquarks, and gluons at high temperature
nuclear matter
Deconfined phase
T increases, or density increases
300 MeV
170 MeV
QCD: asymptotic freedom, quark confinement
Experiments: Heavy Ions collisions produced a medium
HIC are studied in several experiments:• started in the 1990's at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS), • the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) • the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) • the LHC collider at CERN.
4.75NNs GeV
17.2NNs GeV
200NNs GeV
2.76NNs TeV
There are strong experimental evidences that RHIC or LHC have created some medium which behaves collectively:
• modification of particle spectra (compared to p+p)• jet quenching • high p_T-suppression of hadrons• elliptic flow• suppression of quarkonium production
Study of this medium is also related with study of Early Universe
QGP in Heavy Ion Collision and Early Universe
• One of the fundamental questions in physics is: what happens to matter at extreme densities and temperatures as may have existed in the first microseconds after the Big Bang
• The aim of heavy-ion physics is to create such a state of matter in the laboratory.

QGP as a strongly coupled fluid• Conclusion from the RHIC and LHC
experiments: appearance of QGP (not a weakly coupled gas of quarks and gluons, but a strongly coupled fluid).
• This makes perturbative methods inapplicable
• The lattice formulation of QCD does not work, since we have to study real-time phenomena.
• This has provided a motivation to try to understand the dynamics of QGP through the gauge/string duality

Dual description of QGP as a part of Gauge/string duality
• There is not yet exist a gravity dual construction for QCD. • Differences between N = 4 SYM and QCD are less significant, when quarks
and gluons are in the deconfined phase (because of the conformal symmetry at the quantum level N = 4 SYM theory does not exhibit confinement.)
• Lattice calculations show that QCD exhibits a quasi-conformal behavior at temperatures T >300 MeV and the equation of state can be approximated by = 3 p (a traceless conformal energy-momentum tensor).
• The above observations, have motivated to use the AdS/CFT correspondence as a tool to get non-perturbative dynamics of QGP.
• There is the considerable success in description of the static QGP.
