The fate of the Mach cone in covariant transport theory
arXiv:0908.0299 · doi:10.1063/1.3293927
Abstract
An intriguing potential signature of hydrodynamic behavior in relativistic A+A reactions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies is conical flow induced by fast supersonic particles traversing the hot and dense medium. Here I present first results on the evolution of Mach shocks in 2->2 covariant transport theory, in a static uniform medium.
