Uniform semiclassical approximation in quantum statistical mechanics
C. A. A. de Carvalho, R. M. Cavalcanti, E. S. Fraga +1
We present a simple method to deal with caustics in the semiclassical approximation to the partition function of a one-dimensional quantum system. The procedure, which makes use of…
Hydrodynamic Models for Heavy-Ion Collisions, and beyond
A. Dumitru, J. Brachmann, E. S. Fraga +5
A generic property of a first-order phase transition in equilibrium, and in the limit of large entropy per unit of conserved charge, is the smallness of the isentropic speed of sou…
First-Order Chiral Phase Transition in High-Energy Collisions: Can Nucleation Prevent Spinodal Decomposition?
O. Scavenius, A. Dumitru, E. S. Fraga +2
We discuss homogeneous nucleation in a first-order chiral phase transition within an effective field theory approach to low-energy QCD. Exact decay rates and bubble profiles are ob…
