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…
Influence of the U(1)_A Anomaly on the QCD Phase Transition
J. T. Lenaghan
The SU(3)_{r} \times SU(3)_{\ell} linear sigma model is used to study the chiral symmetry restoring phase transition of QCD at nonzero temperature. The line of second order phase t…
Chiral Symmetry Restoration at Nonzero Temperature in the SU(3) \times SU(3) Linear Sigma Model
J. T. Lenaghan, D. H. Rischke, J. Schaffner-Bielich
We study patterns of chiral symmetry breaking at zero temperature and its subsequent restoration at nonzero temperature within the linear sigma mode…
