Influence of baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge fluctuations at the LHC

Christopher Plumberg, Dekrayat Almaalol, Travis Dore +8

At the Large Hadron Collider it is possible to generate BSQ (baryon, strangeness, and electric) charge density fluctuations from gluon splittings into quark/anti-quark pairs, gener…

Causality violations in realistic simulations of heavy-ion collisions

Christopher Plumberg, Dekrayat Almaalol, Travis Dore +2

Causality is violated in the early stages of state-of-the-art heavy-ion hydrodynamic simulations. Such violations are present in up to 75% of the fluid cells in the initial time an…

Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars

Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…

Event-by-event Kinetic Description of Pre-Equilibrium Charge Evolution in QCD Plasma

Travis Dore, Xiaojian Du, Sören Schlichting

We use QCD effective kinetic theory to calculate far-from-equilibrium dynamics on an event-by-event basis within the KøMPøST framework. We present non-equilibrium charge response…

Building a testable shear viscosity across the QCD phase diagram

Emma McLaughlin, Jacob Rose, Travis Dore +3

Current experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are probing finite baryon densities where the shear viscosity to enthalpy ratio of the Quark Gluon Plasma…

Applications of Persistent Homology in Nuclear Collisions

Greg Hamilton, Travis Dore, Christopher Plumberg

We introduce a novel set of observables associated to the rapidly developing field of persistent homology for the quantitative characterization of nuclear collisions and their evol…
