“…Rapidity correlations provide the space-time information that allows us to probe the onset of hydrodynamic behavior in collisions. Two particle correlation measurements show a near-side peak that sits atop a flat ridge in relative rapidity; see, e.g., [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. This result affirms the long-standing principle that longitudinal expansion roughly follows a one-dimensional Hubble-like behavior [17][18][19].…”

We show that measurements of the rapidity dependence of transverse momentum correlations can be used to determine the characteristic time τπ that dictates the rate of isotropization of the stress energy tensor, as well as the shear viscosity ν = η/sT . We formulate methods for computing these correlations using second order dissipative hydrodynamics with noise. Current data are consistent with τπ/ν ∼ 10, but targeted measurements can improve this precision.

“…In particular, color fields produced by the initial nucleon participants result in hot spots extending across the beam direction at early times [37,38]. These fields produce correlated particles over a broad range in rapidity, likely explaining the ridge and other structure observed in correlation measurements [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

Boltzmann-Langevin approach to pre-equilibrium correlations in nuclear collisions

Correlations born before the onset of hydrodynamic flow can leave observable traces on the final state particles. Measurement of these correlations can yield important information on the isotropization and thermalization process. Starting from a Boltzmann-like kinetic theory in the presence of dynamic Langevin noise, we derive a new partial differential equation for the two-particle correlation function that respects the microscopic conservation laws. We illustrate how this equation can be used to study the effect of thermalization on long range correlations.
