[RBRC Seminar] Interplay between core and corona components in high-energy nuclear collisions

Description
Phenomenological dynamical models are powerful tools to directly tease out the properties of quark gluon plasma (QGP) from RHIC and LHC experiment data. Recent studies show that high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions produce similar behavior of final hadrons as observed in heavy-ion collisions. The dynamics behind such experimental observation should be investigated through a comprehensive description to reveal whether there exists a universal picture of a reaction from proton-proton to heavy-ion collisions. We establish the dynamical core-corona initialization model as a unified picture that phenomenologically describes dynamical "equilibration" in the initial stage.  We discuss that contributions from QGP fluids (core) and non-equilibrated matter (corona) show non-trivial interplay, which could change the conventional picture of high-energy nuclear collisions.
