English abstract:
Gravitational shock waves in anti-de Sitter space-time may describe colliding heavy ions while the precise holographic dual to QCD is still missing. Black hole formation in collisions of dual of the nuclei in the bulk is interpreted as formation of a quark-gluon plasma. Studies of a high energy particle collision in a strongly coupled gauge theory are aimed to understand the early thermalization in the RHIC heavy ion experiments.
Keywords:
QCD, quark-gluon plasma, black hole
