TLDR
Open charm production during the equilibration of a gluon dominated parton plasma is calculated, with both the time-dependent temperature and parton densities given by a set of rate equations.Abstract:
Open charm production during the equilibration of a gluon dominated parton plasma is calculated, with both the time-dependent temperature and parton densities given by a set of rate equations. Including prethermal production, the total enhancement of open charm production over the initial gluon fusion depends sensitively on the initial parton density and the effective temperature. The dependence of the prethermal charm production on the space-momentum correlation in the initial parton phase-space distribution is also discussed.read more

Hydrodynamic afterburner for the color glass condensate and the parton energy loss
Tetsufumi Hirano,Yasushi Nara +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take hydrodynamic initial conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions from the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) picture through the k T factorization formula and reproduce the centrality, rapidity, and energy dependences of multiplicity within this approach.
