Distinguishing Quarks and Gluons in Pion and Kaon PDFs

Kyle D. Bednar, Ian C. Cloët, Peter C. Tandy

The leading-twist parton distribution functions of the pion and kaon are calculated for the first time using a rainbow-ladder truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) t…

Can magnetic fields stabilize or destabilize twin stars?

R. O. Gomes, V. Dexheimer, S. Han +1

Sharp phase transitions described by stiff equations of state allow for the existence of a third family of stable compact stars (besides white dwarfs and neutron stars), twin stars…

What do we learn about vector interactions from GW170817?

Veronica Dexheimer, Rosana de Oliveira Gomes, Stefan Schramm +1

We analyze the role played by vector-isovector meson interaction in dense matter present in the interior of neutron stars in the light of new measurements made during the double ne…

The non-equilibrium attractor for kinetic theory in relaxation time approximation

Michael Strickland

I demonstrate that the concept of a non-equilibrium attractor can be extended beyond the lowest-order moments typically considered in hydrodynamic treatments. Using a previously ob…

Anisotropic hydrodynamics with number-conserving kernels

D. Almaalol, M. Alqahtani, M. Strickland

We compare anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) results obtained using the relaxation-time approximation (RTA) and leading-order (LO) scalar λϕ^4 collisional kernels. We extend previ…

Anisotropic hydrodynamic modeling of 200 GeV Au-Au collisions

Dekrayat Almaalol, Mubarak Alqahtani, Michael Strickland

We compare phenomenological results from 3+1d quasiparticle anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydroQP) with experimental data collected in RHIC 200 GeV Au-Au collisions. We present compa…

Small system studies: A theory overview

Michael Strickland

There is now a substantial body of evidence that a deconfined quark-gluon plasma is created in ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy nuclei. Some key observables which are used to…

Nucleon Quark Distribution Functions from the Dyson-Schwinger Equations

Kyle D. Bednar, Ian C. Cloët, Peter C. Tandy

We present results for the nucleon's leading-twist spin-independent valence parton distribution functions obtained from a theoretical framework based on the Dyson-Schwinger equatio…

The Deconfinement Phase Transition in Proto-Neutron-Star Matter

J. Roark, V. Dexheimer

In this work, we study in detail the deconfinement phase transition that takes place in hot/dense nuclear matter in the context of neutron stars and proto-neutron stars (in which l…

Directed flow of open charm in Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV using a quark coalescence model

Md Nasim, Subhash Singha

The directed flow () of open charm meson () is studied in Au+Au collisions at = 200~GeV using A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model framework with part…
