In this study we model early times dynamics of the system produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions by an initial color electric field which then decays to a plasma by the Schwinger mechanism, coupling the dynamical evolution of the initial color field to the dynamics of the many particles system produced by the decay. The latter is described by relativistic kinetic theory in which we fix the ratio $eta/s$ rather than insisting on specific microscopic processes. We study isotropization and thermalization of the system produced by the field decay for a static box and for a $1+1$D expanding geometry. We find that regardless of the viscosity of the produced plasma, the initial color electric field decays within $1$ fm/c; however in the case $eta/s$ is large, oscillations of the field are effective along all the entire time evolution of the system, which affect the late times evolution of the ratio between longitudinal and transverse pressure. In case of small $eta/s$ ($eta/slesssim0.3$) we find $tau_{isotropization}approx 0.8$ fm/c and $tau_{thermalization}approx 1$ fm/c in agreement with the common lore of hydrodynamics. Moreover we have investigated the effect of turning from the relaxation time approximation to the Chapman-Enskog one: we find that this improvement affects mainly the early times evolution of the physical quantities, the effect being milder in the late times evolution.

Relativistic models can be successfully applied to the description of compact star properties in nuclear astrophysics as well as to nuclear matter and finite nuclei properties, these studies taking place at low and moderate temperatures. Nevertheless
, all results are model dependent and so far it is unclear whether some of them should be discarded. Moreover, in the regime of hot hadronic matter very few calculations exist using these relativistic models, in particular when applied to particle yields in heavy ion collisions. In the present work we comment on the known constraints that can help the selection of adequate models in this regime and investigate the main differences that arise when the particle production during a Au+Au collision at RHIC is calculated with different models.
The dynamics of baryon-antibaryon annihilation and reproduction ($B{bar B} leftrightarrow 3 M$) is studied within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach for Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions as a function of centrality from lower Super
Proton Synchrotron (SPS) up to Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies on the basis of the quark rearrangement model (QRM). At Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) energies we find a small net reduction of baryon-antibaryon ($B {bar B}$) pairs while for the LHC energy of $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 GeV a small net enhancement is found relative to calculations without annihilation (and reproduction) channels. Accordingly, the sizeable difference between data and statistical calculations in Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 2.76 TeV for proton and antiproton yields cite{53}, where a deviation of 2.7 $sigma$ was claimed by the ALICE Collaboration, should not be attributed to a net antiproton annihilation. This is in line with the observation that no substantial deviation between the data and statistical hadronization model (SHM) calculations is seen for antihyperons, since according to the PHSD analysis the antihyperons should be modified by the same amount as antiprotons. As the PHSD results for particle ratios are in line with the ALICE data (within error bars) this might point towards a deviation from statistical equilibrium in the hadronization (at least for protons/antiprotons). Furthermore, we find that the $B {bar B} leftrightarrow 3 M$ reactions are more effective at lower SPS energies where a net suppression for antiprotons and antihyperons up to a factor of 2 -- 2.5 can be extracted from the PHSD calculations for central Au+Au collisions.
Heavy ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to study the nature of X(3872) compared with electron-positron and proton-proton (antiproton) collisions. With the abundant charm pairs produced in heavy-ion collisions, the production of multicharm h
adrons and molecules can be enhanced by the combination of charm and anticharm quarks in the medium. We investigate the centrality and momentum dependence of X(3872) in heavy-ion collisions via the Langevin equation and instant coalescence model (LICM). When X(3872) is treated as a compact tetraquark state, the tetraquarks are produced via the coalescence of heavy and light quarks near the quantum chromodynamic (QCD) phase transition due to the restoration of the heavy quark potential at $Trightarrow T_c$. In the molecular scenario, loosely bound X(3872) is produced via the coalescence of $D^0$-$bar D^{*0}$ mesons in a hadronic medium after kinetic freeze-out. The phase space distributions of the charm quarks and D mesons in a bulk medium are studied with the Langevin equation, while the coalescence probability between constituent particles is controlled by the Wigner function, which encodes the internal structure of the formed particle. First, we employ the LICM to explain both $D^0$ and $J/psi$ production as a benchmark. Then, we give predictions regarding X(3872) production. We find that the total yield of tetraquark is several times larger than the molecular production in Pb-Pb collisions. Although the geometric size of the molecule is huge, the coalescence probability is small due to strict constraints on the relative momentum between $D^0$ and $bar D^{*0}$ in the molecular Wigner function, which significantly suppresses the molecular yield.
We study the diffusion of charm quarks in the early stage of high energy nuclear collisions at the RHIC and the LHC. The main novelty of the present study is the introduction of the color current carried by the heavy quarks that propagate in the evol
ving Glasma (Ev-Glasma), that is responsible of the energy loss via polarization of the medium. We compute the transverse momentum broadening, $sigma_p$, of charm in the pre-thermalization stage, and the impact of the diffusion on the nuclear modification factor in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The net effect of energy loss is marginal in the pre-thermalization stage. The study is completed by the calculation of coordinate spreading, $sigma_x$, and by a comparison with Langevin dynamics. $sigma_p$ in Ev-Glasma overshoots the result of standard Langevin dynamics at the end of the pre-hydro regime. We interpret this as a result of memory of the color force acting on the charm quarks that implies $sigma_ppropto t^2$. Moreover, $sigma_xpropto t^2 $ in the pre-hydro stage shows that the charm quark in the Ev-Glasma is in the regime of ballistic diffusion.
We present the spatial distributions of electromagnetic fields ($bf E$ and $bf B$) and electromagnetic anomaly $ bf E cdot B$ in Au+Au collisions at the RHIC energy $sqrt{s}$=200 GeV based on a multi-phase transport model. A dipolar distribution of $
bf E cdot B$ is observed in non-central collisions. We find that the coupling of the $bf E cdot B$ dipole and magnetic field $bf B$ can induce an electric quadrupole moment which can further lead to the difference in elliptic flows between positive charged particles and negative charged particles through final interactions. The centrality dependence of the density of $bf E cdot B$ is similar to the trend of the slope parameter $r$ measured from the difference in elliptic flows between positive pions and negative pions by the STAR collaboration. Therefore, the novel mechanism for electric quadrupole moment generation can offer a new interpretation of the observed charge-dependent elliptic flow of pions, but without the formation of chiral magnetic wave.
