Transport properties of hot gluonic matter
Marcus Bluhm, Marlene Nahrgang
We discuss the temperature dependence of the scaled jet quenching parameter of hot gluonic matter within a quasiparticle approach. A pronounced maximum in the vicinity of the trans…
Quark saturation in the QCD phase diagram
Marcus Bluhm, Yuki Fujimoto, Larry McLerran +1
We determine the onset of Quarkyonic Matter corresponding to values of temperature and baryon chemical potential at which the quark phase space density becomes one. At zero tempera…
Quasi-Particle Description of Strongly Interacting Matter: Towards a Foundation
Marcus Bluhm, Burkhard Kampfer, Robert Schulze +1
We confront our quasi-particle model for the equation of state of strongly interacting matter with recent first-principle QCD calculations. In particular, we test its applicability…
The influence of bulk evolution models on heavy-quark phenomenology
Pol Bernard Gossiaux, Sascha Vogel, Hendrik van Hees +4
We study the impact of different Quark-Gluon Plasma expansion scenarios in heavy-ion collisions on spectra and elliptic flow of heavy quarks. For identical heavy-quark transport co…
Modeling the diffusive dynamics of critical fluctuations near the QCD critical point
Marlene Nahrgang, Marcus Bluhm
The experimental search for the QCD critical point by means of relativistic heavy-ion collisions necessitates the development of dynamical models of fluctuations. In this work we s…
Model-independent determination of the shear viscosity of a trapped unitary Fermi gas: Application to high temperature data
Marcus Bluhm, Thomas Schaefer
Determinations of the shear viscosity of trapped ultracold gases suffer from systematic, uncontrolled uncertainties related to the treatment of the dilute part of the gas cloud. In…
