Conferenciante: Sergio Montero Modino (IFT-UAM/CSIC, Madrid)
Dia y hora:     2, 14:15 (Aula 8B)

Resumen:

Studying the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions
is quite a hard task; at the energies available it remains as a strongly
coupled system. Recently, there has been much study within the AdS/CFT
correspondence of plasmas that hopefully will grasp some of the features
of the QGP. In this talk we will show how to study dynamical properties
of these plasmas using the correspondence, computing dispersion
relations for collective excitations and their contributions to the
effect of given perturbations in it. Finally, we will propose a way to
define a hydrodynamic timescale for the plasma evolution.
