Filamentation Instability in Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 95))

Abstract

Due to the strongly anisotropic momentum distribution of partons produced at the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC or LHC, the system can be unstable with respect to the plasma oscillations driven by the QCD forces. A specific mode, which splits the parton system into the color current filaments parallel to the beam direction, is discussed in detail.
