Signatures of the chiral critical endpoint of QCD in heavy-ion collisions: the role of finite-size effects
L. F. Palhares, E. S. Fraga
We briefly discuss the status of the signatures of the QCD critical endpoint in heavy-ion collisions concentrating on the role played by the finiteness of the medium created in suc…
Finite-size effects and the search for the critical endpoint of QCD
Eduardo S. Fraga, Takeshi Kodama, Letícia F. Palhares +1
Taking into account the finiteness of the system created in heavy ion collisions, we show sizable results for the modifications of the chiral phase diagram at volume scales typical…
Finite-size scaling as a tool in the search for the QCD critical point in heavy ion data
Eduardo S. Fraga, Leticia F. Palhares, Paul Sorensen
Given the short lifetime and the reduced volume of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy heavy ion collisions, a possible critical endpoint (CEP) will be blurred in a…
Effective potential in the BET formalism
A. Bessa, C. A. A. de Carvalho, E. S. Fraga +1
We calculate the one-loop effective potential at finite temperature for a system of massless scalar fields with quartic interaction in the framework of the boundary effectiv…
Phase diagram of strong interactions in an external magnetic field
Ana Julia Mizher, Eduardo S. Fraga, M. N. Chernodub
We obtain the phase diagram of strong interactions in the presence of a magnetic field within the linear sigma model coupled to quarks and to the Polyakov loop, and show that the c…
