50 Years of Quantum Chromodynamics

Franz Gross, Eberhard Klempt, Stanley J. Brodsky +92

This paper presents a comprehensive review of both the theory and experimental successes of Quantum Chromodynamics, starting with its emergence as a well defined theory in 1972-73…

QuantumFDTD -- A computational framework for the relativistic Schrödinger equation

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

We extend the publicly available quantumfdtd code. It was originally intended for solving the time-independent three-dimensional Schrödinger equation via the finite-difference time…

The impact of fluctuating initial conditions on bottomonium suppression in 5.02 TeV heavy-ion collisions

Huda Alalawi, Jacob Boyd, Chun Shen +1

We compute bottomonium suppression and elliptic flow within the pNRQCD effective field theory using an open quantum systems approach. For the hydrodynamical background, we use 2+1D…

The effective complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma

Ajaharul Islam, Lihua Dong, Yun Guo +2

We introduce a method for reducing anisotropic heavy-quark potentials to isotropic potentials by using an effective screening mass that depends on the quantum numbers and o…

Probing gluon TMDs with reconstructed and tagged heavy flavor hadron pairs at EIC

Xin Dong, Yuanjing Ji, Matthew Kelsey +3

Study of the transverse structure of the proton is one of the major physics goals of the upcoming Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The gluon transverse momentum dependent distributions…

Far-from-equilibrium attractors for massive kinetic theory in the relaxation time approximation

Huda Alalawi, Michael Strickland

We investigate whether early and late time attractors for non-conformal kinetic theories exist by computing the time-evolution of a large set of moments of the one-particle distrib…

Effect of thermal gluon absorption and medium fluctuations on heavy flavour nuclear modification factor at RHIC and LHC energies

Ashik Ikbal Sheikh

The presence of thermal gluons reduces the stimulated gluon emission off a heavy quark propagating in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) while absorption causes reduction of the radiativ…

Axion effects in the stability of hybrid stars

Bruno S. Lopes, Ricardo L. S. Farias, Veronica Dexheimer +2

We investigate the effects of including strong charge-parity (CP) violating effects through axion fields in the microscopic equation of state of massive hybrid neutron stars. We as…

The complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma -- Statics and dynamics

Lihua Dong, Yun Guo, Ajaharul Islam +2

We generalize a complex heavy-quark potential model from an isotropic QCD plasma to an anisotropic one by replacing the Debye mass with an anisotropic screening mass dependin…

Heavy quarkonium dynamics at next-to-leading order in the binding energy over temperature

Nora Brambilla, Miguel Ángel Escobedo, Ajaharul Islam +4

Using the potential non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (pNRQCD) effective field theory, we derive a Lindblad equation for the evolution of the heavy-quarkonium reduced density…

Search for baryon junctions in photonuclear processes and isobar collisions at RHIC

Nicole Lewis, Wendi Lv, Mason Alexander Ross +7

During the early development of Quantum Chromodynamics, it was proposed that baryon number could be carried by a non-perturbative Y-shaped topology of gluon fields, called the gluo…

Pattern of Global Spin Alignment of and mesons in Heavy-Ion Collisions

STAR Collaboration, M. S. Abdallah, B. E. Aboona +379

Notwithstanding decades of progress since Yukawa first developed a description of the force between nucleons in terms of meson exchange, a full understanding of the strong interact…

Role of bulk viscosity in deuteron production in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions

D. Everett, D. Oliinychenko, M. Luzum +53

We use a Bayesian-calibrated multistage viscous hydrodynamic model to explore deuteron yield, mean transverse momentum and flow observables in LHC Pb-Pb collisions. We explore theo…
