Bottomonium suppression in an open quantum system using the quantum trajectories method

Nora Brambilla, Miguel Ángel Escobedo, Michael Strickland +3

We solve the Lindblad equation describing the Brownian motion of a Coulombic heavy quark-antiquark pair in a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma using the highly efficient Monte Ca…

NNLO HTLpt predictions for the curvature of the QCD phase transition line

Najmul Haque, Michael Strickland

We present predictions for the second- and fourth-order curvature coefficients of the QCD phase transition line using the NNLO HTLpt-resummed thermodynamic potential. We present th…

Bottomonium suppression and elliptic flow using Heavy Quarkonium Quantum Dynamics

Ajaharul Islam, Michael Strickland

We introduce a framework called Heavy Quarkonium Quantum Dynamics (HQQD) which can be used to compute the dynamical suppression of heavy quarkonia propagating in the quark-gluon pl…

Bottomonium suppression and elliptic flow from real-time quantum evolution

Ajaharul Islam, Michael Strickland

We compute the suppression and elliptic flow of bottomonium using real-time solutions to the Schrödinger equation with a realistic in-medium complex-valued potential. To model the…

Fireball tomography from bottomonia elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Partha Pratim Bhaduri, Mubarak Alqahtani, Nicolas Borghini +2

We calculate the elliptic flow of bottomonia produced in PbPb collisions at TeV. We consider temperature-dependent decay widths for the anisotropic…

An improved anisotropic hydrodynamics ansatz

Huda Alalawi, Michael Strickland

We introduce an improved form for the anisotropic hydrodynamics distribution function which explicitly takes into account the free-streaming and equilibrating contributions separat…

Pseudothermalization of the quark-gluon plasma

Michael Strickland

In this proceedings contribution I review recent work in kinetic theory which demonstrates that, for system undergoing Bjorken expansion, there exists an attractor in all moments o…

Two-loop HTL-resummed thermodynamics for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

Qianqian Du, Michael Strickland, Ubaid Tantary +1

We compute the two-loop hard-thermal-loop (HTL) resummed thermodynamic potential for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM). Our final result is manifestly gauge-invariant and was ren…

The Relativistic Schrödinger Equation through FFTW3: An Extension of quantumfdtd

Rafael L. Delgado, Sebastian Steinbeißer, Michael Strickland +1

In order to solve the time-independent three-dimensional Schrödinger equation, one can transform the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to imaginary time and use a parallelized it…

Non-equilibrium attractor in high-temperature QCD plasmas

Dekrayat Almaalol, Aleksi Kurkela, Michael Strickland

We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly-coupled gauge theory undergoing one-dimensional Bjorken expansion. We demonstrate that the resulting far-fr…

Spatial and Momentum Imaging of the Pion and Kaon

Chao Shi, Kyle Bednar, Ian C. Cloët +1

We determine the leading Fock state light front wave functions (LFWFs) of the pion and kaon via light front projections of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter wave function. Using these L…

Perturbative Thermal QCD: Formalism and Applications

Jacopo Ghiglieri, Aleksi Kurkela, Michael Strickland +1

In this review article, we discuss the current status and future prospects of perturbation theory as a means of studying the equilibrium thermodynamic and near-equilibrium transpor…
