Description
Thermalization is a central topic in non-equilibrium physics. Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions (URHICs) provide the only experimental window into the thermalization of quantum chromodynamic (QCD) matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In this talk, I will review recent progress in understanding QCD thermalization from a phenomenological perspective, covering promising theoretical frameworks, such as effective kinetic theory and hydrodynamic attractors, that describe how the system approaches equilibrium, as well as the hard and electromagnetic probes that give experimental access to this process.
