Two-color QCD via dimensional reduction

Tian Zhang, Tomáš Brauner, Aleksi Kurkela +1

We study the thermodynamics of two-color QCD at high temperature and/or density using a dimensionally reduced superrenormalizable effective theory, formulated in terms of a coarse…

What the Oblique Parameters S, T, and U and Their Extensions Reveal About the 2HDM: A Numerical Analysis

Gerhardt Funk, Deva O'Neil, R. Michael Winters

The oblique parameters S, T, and U and their higher-order extensions (V, W, and X) are observables that combine electroweak precision data to quantify deviation from the Standard M…

Higher flow harmonics from (3+1)D event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics

Bjoern Schenke, Sangyong Jeon, Charles Gale

We present event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic calculations of the anisotropic flow coefficients v_2 to v_5 for heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC).…

Minimal hidden sector models for CoGeNT/DAMA events

James M. Cline, Andrew R. Frey

Motivated by recent attempts to reconcile hints of direct dark matter detection by the CoGeNT and DAMA experiments, we construct simple particle physics models that can accommodate…

Light dark matter versus astrophysical constraints

James M. Cline, Andrew R. Frey

Hints of direct dark matter detection coming from the DAMA, CoGeNT experiments point toward light dark matter with isospin-violating and possibly inelastic couplings. However an ar…

Viscous photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Maxime Dion, Jean-Francois Paquet, Bjoern Schenke +3

Theoretical studies of the production of real thermal photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are performed. The space-time evolu…
