We consider two ultrarelativistic shock waves propagating and colliding in five-dimensional Anti-de-Sitter spacetime. By transforming to Rosen coordinates, we are able to find the form of the metric shortly after the collision. Using holographic renormalization, we calculate the energy-momentum tensor on the boundary of AdS space for early times after the collision. Via the gauge-gravity duality, this gives some insights on bulk dynamics of systems created by high energy scattering in strongly coupled gauge theories. We find that Bjorken boost-invariance is explicitely violated at early times and we obtain an estimate for the thermalization time in this simple system.

  1. Dynamics of chiral phase transition in a $N_f=2+1$ soft-wall AdS/QCD model

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a 2+1 flavor soft-wall AdS/QCD model, the chiral condensate exhibits slow, non-trivial relaxation with a metastable plateau or overshoot when quenched close to the phase transition.
