Hydrodynamics of massive particles from kinetic theory

• Farid Taghinavaz (School of Particles and Accelerators - IPM)

Relativistic hydrodynamics is an acceptable approach to describe phenomena of collisions of nuclei. However, this approach has a fallacy: it cannot trace the microscopic nature of the individual particles that create the fluids. Kinetic theory is an alternative tool that is able to capture the details as well as follow the emergence of collective behavior from tiny interactions. In this talk, we will review the basics of relativistic kinetic theory and demonstrate how hydrodynamic behavior can be derived from it. Then, we will describe our problem: the hydrodynamics of massive particles, which is very important for the real world.
