We use experimentally measured identified particle spectra and Hanbury Brown-Twiss radii to determine the entropy per unit rapidity $dS/dy$ produced in $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV pp and $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV Pb-Pb collisions. We find that $dS/dy = 11335 \pm 1188$ in 0-10% Pb-Pb, $dS/dy = 135.7 \pm 17.9$ in high-multiplicity pp, and $dS/dy = 37.8 \pm 3.7$ in minimum bias pp collisions and compare the corresponding entropy per charged particle $(dS/dy)/(dN_{\rm ch}/dy)$ to predictions of statistical models. Finally, we use the QCD kinetic theory pre-equilibrium and viscous hydrodynamics to model entropy production in the collision and reconstruct the average temperature profile at $\tau_0 = 1$ fm/$c$ for high multiplicity pp and Pb-Pb collisions.

  1. Extracting the speed of sound of QCD from transverse momentum fluctuations

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    From ATLAS data on transverse-momentum fluctuations in ultra-central Pb+Pb collisions, the QGP speed of sound is extracted as 0.496 ± 0.008 at 221 ± 13 MeV, matching lattice QCD.

  2. Event-by-event fluctuations of elliptic flow in ultrarelativistic O+O collisions

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In O+O collisions, initial eccentricity and elliptic flow are fluctuation-driven and can be reproduced from a small set of uncorrelated modes.

  3. The size of the quark-gluon plasma in ultracentral collisions: impact of initial density fluctuations on the average transverse momentum

    nucl-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Volume variation with multiplicity in ultracentral collisions is small when total entropy scales with nuclear mass number, as shown by relating it to initial density fluctuation profiles.

  4. Constraining hot and cold nuclear matter properties from heavy-ion collisions and deep-inelastic scattering

    nucl-th 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Global analysis of HERA DIS and ALICE Pb+Pb data using saturation initial-state model determines early-time non-equilibrium η/s of QGP.

  5. Charm quark production in heavy-ion collisions as a signature of pre-equilibrium

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Charm quark production from the pre-equilibrium phase contributes non-negligibly to the total yield in heavy-ion collisions and may allow inference of pre-equilibrium properties when combined with better initial-state...
