Quarkyonic Chiral Spirals

Toru Kojo, Yoshimasa Hidaka, Larry McLerran +1

We consider the formation of chiral density waves in Quarkyonic matter, which is a phase where cold, dense quarks experience confining forces. We model confinement following Gribov…

Small shear viscosity in the semi quark gluon plasma

Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski

At nonzero temperature in QCD, about the deconfining phase transition there is a "semi" quark gluon plasma (semi-QGP), where the expectation value of the (renormalized) Polyakov lo…

Hadron Production in Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions: Quarkyonic Matter and a Triple Point in the Phase Diagram of QCD

A. Andronic, D. Blaschke, P. Braun-Munzinger +9

We argue that features of hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions, mainly at CERN-SPS energies, may be explained by the existence of three forms of matter: Hadronic Ma…

Zero Point Energy of Renormalized Wilson Loops

Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski

The quark antiquark potential, and its associated zero point energy, can be extracted from lattice measurements of the Wilson loop. We discuss a unique prescription to renormalize…

Hard thermal loops, to quadratic order, in the background of a spatial 't Hooft loop

Yoshimasa Hidaka, Robert D. Pisarski

We compute the simplest hard thermal loops for a spatial 't Hooft loop in the deconfined phase of a SU(N) gauge theory. We expand to quadratic order about a constant background fie…
