We argue that the idea that the parton system created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is formed in a state with transverse momenta close to thermodynamic equilibrium and its subsequent dynamics at early times is dominated by pure transverse hydrodynamics of the perfect fluid is compatible with the data collected at RHIC. This scenario of early parton dynamics may help to solve the problem of early equilibration.

The idea that the parton system created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions (i) emerges in a state with transverse momenta close to thermodynamic equilibrium and (ii) its evolution at early times is dominated by the 2-dimensional (transverse) hydrodynamics of the ideal fluid is investigated. It is argued that this mechanism may help to solve the problem of early equilibration.
A characteristic feature of thermalized non-equilibrated matter is that, in spite of energy relaxation (thermalization), a phase memory of the way the strongly interacting many-body system was excited remains. In this contribution we analyze a low energy evaporating proton data in nucleon induced reactions at $simeq$62 MeV incident energy with $^{197}$Au, $^{208}$Pb, $^{209}$Bi and $^{nat}$U. Our analysis demonstrates that the thermalized non-equilibrated matter survives a cascade of several evaporating particles. Thus the experiments show that the effect of the anomalously slow phase relaxation, with upper limits of the phase relaxation widths in the range 1-10$^{-4}$ eV, is stable with respect to the multi-step evaporating cascade from the thermalized compound nuclei. We also briefly mention manifestations and implications of the thermalized non-equilibrated matter for some other fields.
We calculate the Gaussian radius parameters of the pion-emitting source in high energy heavy ion collisions, assuming a first order phase transition from a thermalized Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) to a gas of hadrons. Such a model leads to a very long-lived dissipative hadronic rescattering phase which dominates the properties of the two-pion correlation functions. The radii are found to depend only weakly on the thermalization time tau_i, the critical temperature T_c (and thus the latent heat), and the specific entropy of the QGP. The dissipative hadronic stage enforces large variations of the pion emission times around the mean. Therefore, the model calculations suggest a rapid increase of R_out/R_side as a function of K_T if a thermalized QGP were formed.
In this study we investigate the dynamics of strongly interacting parton-hadron matter by calculating the centrality dependence of direct photons produced in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. As sources for direct photons, we incorporate the interactions of quarks and gluons as well as hadronic interactions ($pi+pitorho+gamma$, $rho+pitopi+gamma$, meson-meson bremsstrahlung $m+mto m+m+gamma$, meson-baryon bremsstrahlung $m+Bto m+B+gamma$), the decays of $phi$ and $a_1$ mesons and the photons produced in the initial hard collisions (pQCD). Our calculations suggest that the channel decomposition of the observed spectrum changes with centrality with an increasing (dominant) contribution of hadronic sources for more peripheral reactions. Furthermore, the thermal photon yield is found to scale roughly with the number of participant nucleons as $N_{part}^alpha$ with $alpha approx$ 1.5, whereas the partonic contribution scales with an exponent $alpha_p approx1.75$. Additionally, we provide predictions for the centrality dependence of the direct photon elliptic flow $v_2(p_T)$. The direct photon $v_2$ is seen to be larger in peripheral collisions compared to the most central ones since the photons from the hot deconfined matter in the early stages of the collision carry a much smaller elliptic flow than those from the final hadronic interactions.
Using classical description of spin degrees of freedom, we extend recent formulation of the perfect-fluid hydrodynamics for spin-polarized fluids to the case including dissipation. Our work is based on the analysis of classical kinetic equations for massive particles with spin-1/2, with the collision terms treated in the relaxation time approximation. The kinetic-theory framework determines the structure of viscous and diffusive terms and allows to explicitly calculate a complete set of new kinetic coefficients that characterize dissipative spin dynamics.
