Extending the reach of hydrodynamics for relativistic heavy ion collisions

Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, 48824-1321, USA

Abstract

Recent and ongoing improvements to hydrodynamic treatments at RHIC are extending the physics reach of hydrodynamics, and improving the phenomenology. Here, the links between technological improvements and the extension of physics are emphasized.
