Rapidity-dependent jet energy loss in small systems with finite-size effects and running coupling

Chanwook Park, Chun Shen, Sangyong Jeon +1

Longitudinal dynamics of particle production and rapidity-dependent jet energy loss are investigated in small and asymmetric colliding systems. We utilize an improved version of \t…

Electromagnetic radiation and collectivity in small quark-gluon droplets

Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +2

We study the multiplicity and rapidity dependence of thermal and prompt photon production in p+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, using a (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic framework. Direct phot…

Holographic Photon Production and Anisotropic Flow

Ioannis Iatrakis, Elias Kiritsis, Chun Shen +1

The thermal-photon emission from strongly coupled gauge theories at finite temperature via the bottom-up models in holographic QCD in the deconfined phase is studied. The models ar…

Bulk viscous corrections to photon production in the quark-gluon plasma

Sigtryggur Hauksson, Chun Shen, Sangyong Jeon +1

Photons radiated in heavy-ion collisions are a penetrating probe, and as such can play an important role in the determination of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) transport coefficients…

Correlated stopping, proton clusters and higher order proton cumulants

Adam Bzdak, Volker Koch, Vladimir Skokov

We investigate possible effects of correlations between stopped nucleons on higher order proton cumulants at low energy heavy-ion collisions. We find that fluctuations of the numbe…

From gluon topology to chiral anomaly: Emergent phenomena in quark-gluon plasma

Jinfeng Liao

Heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and the LHC have found a new emergent phase of QCD, a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) that is distinctively different from either…

Novel quantum phenomena induced by strong magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions

Koichi Hattori, Xu-Guang Huang

The relativistic heavy-ion collisions create both hot quark-gluon matter and strong magnetic fields, and provide an arena to study the interplay between quantum chromodynamics and…

Test the chiral magnetic effect with isobaric collisions

Wei-Tian Deng, Xu-Guang Huang, Guo-Liang Ma +1

The quark-gluon matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions may contain local domains in which P and CP symmetries are not preserved. When coupled with an external magneti…

Procedure for measuring particle's circular polarization variation with respect to the reaction plane in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

A. H. Tang, G. Wang

The EM field pattern created by spectators in relativistic heavy-ion collisions plants a seed of positive (negative) magnetic helicity in the hemisphere above (below) the reaction…

Sequential bottomonium production at high temperatures

P. Petreczky, C. Young

Bottomonium production in heavy ion collisions is modified compared with any simple extrapolation from elementary collisions. This modification is most likely caused by the presenc…
