Initial conditions for nuclear collisions: theory overview
We overview the current status and recent developments on initial conditions in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Specifically, we look at the progress in understanding the role of sub-nucleonic fluctuations in large and small collision systems. Next, we review the current ideas of goin...

| Summary: | We overview the current status and recent developments on initial conditions in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Specifically, we look at the progress in understanding the role of sub-nucleonic fluctuations in large and small collision systems. Next, we review the current ideas of going beyond boost invariant initial conditions and introducing physically motivated rapidity fluctuations at RHIC and LHC energies. Finally, we discuss the time evolution of initial stages and the matching between different descriptions of the QGP. |
