The cosmological heavy ion collider: Fast thermalization after cosmic inflation
Heavy-ion colliders have revealed the process of “fast thermalization”. This experimental break-through has led to new theoretical tools to study the thermalization process at both weak and strong coupling. We apply this to the reheating epoch of inflationary cosmology, and the formation of a cosmol...
