Influence of thermalization on the initial condition for heavy ion collisions
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the important role of the thermalization process in the initial distribution of QGP. We find that the negligible heat conduction inside QGP can be expressed as an effective Fourier law and we further analyse qualitatively the results caused by a thermalized initial condition. Based on this arguments, we construct a simple phenomenological model and work with the hydro code, and then we compare our results with the experimental data and the results of the standard initial model. It is found that, as we have argued, a thermalized initial condition suppresses the value of the elliptic flow.
