Title: The initial stage in heavy-ion collisions
abstract:
One of the goals of heavy-ion collisions is the study of hot and dense nuclear matter that can be described by hydrodynamics and, theoretically, a phase transitions and the critical point could be observed. However, one of the key input of various hydrodynamic models are the initial conditions. In my talk, I will describe what the initial stage is, what nuclear effects can be observed, or how the initial stage can be studied. Particularly, the terms as nuclear shadowing, saturation scale, or various final states such as direct photons or vector mesons will be introduced.
