Bulk viscous corrections to screening and damping in QCD at high temperatures

Qianqian Du, Adrian Dumitru, Yun Guo +1

Non-equilibrium corrections to the distribution functions of quarks and gluons in a hot and dense QCD medium modify the "hard thermal loops" (HTL). The HTLs determine the retarded,…

Quark self-energy in an ellipsoidally anisotropic quark-gluon plasma

Babak S. Kasmaei, Mohammad Nopoush, Michael Strickland

We calculate the quark self-energy in a quark-gluon plasma that possesses an ellipsoidal momentum-space anisotropy in the local rest frame. By introducing additional transverse mom…

pole mass calculation in a strong magnetic field and lattice constraints

Sidney S. Avancini, Ricardo L. S. Farias, Marcus Benghi Pinto +2

The neutral meson pole mass is calculated in a strongly magnetized medium using the SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model within the random phase approximation (RPA) at zero tempera…

Predictions for bottomonia suppression in 5.023 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

Brandon Krouppa, Michael Strickland

We compute the suppression of the bottomonia states Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), Upsilon(3S), chi_b(1P), chi_b(2P), and chi_b(3P) states in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sqrt(s_NN)) = 5…

Thermodynamics of quark matter with a chiral imbalance

R. L. S. Farias, Dyana C. Duarte, Gastão Krein +1

We show how a scheme of rewriting a divergent momentum integral can conciliate results obtained with the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model and recent lattice results for the chiral transit…

Reliability of the optimized perturbation theory in the 0-dimensional scalar field model

Dérick S. Rosa, R. L. S. Farias, Rudnei O. Ramos

We address the reliability of the Optimized Perturbation Theory (OPT) in the context of the 0-dimensional scalar field model. The effective potential, the self-energy and th…

Color Instabilities in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

Stanislaw Mrowczynski, Bjoern Schenke, Michael Strickland

When the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) - a system of deconfined quarks and gluons - is in a nonequilibrium state, it is usually unstable with respect to color collective modes. The inst…

Thermo-magnetic effects in quark matter: Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model constrained by lattice QCD

R. L. S. Farias, V. S. Timoteo, S. S. Avancini +2

The phenomenon of inverse magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry in QCD predicted by lattice simulations can be reproduced within the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model if the coupling~ o…
