Variations of the crossover and first-order phase transition curve in modeling the QCD equation of state
Joseph I. Kapusta, Shensong Wan
Lattice QCD calculations have shown that the transition from hadrons to quarks and gluons is a rapid crossover at MeV at vanishing chemical potential. Many model calc…
Dense Nuclear Matter Equation of State from Heavy-Ion Collisions
Agnieszka Sorensen, Kshitij Agarwal, Kyle W. Brown +133
The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear interact…
Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
Embedding a Critical Point in a Hadron to Quark-Gluon Crossover Equation of State
Joseph Kapusta, Tom Welle, Christopher Plumberg
It is shown how to embed a critical point in a smooth background equation of state so as to yield the critical exponents and critical amplitude ratios expected of a transition in t…
Comprehensive simulation of heavy-ion collisions at non-zero baryon chemical potential
A. De, J. I. Kapusta, M. Singh +1
We present results of hydrodynamic modelling of Au-Au collisions from = 7.7 to 200 GeV. Our simulations have three novel components. Firstly, we use a Linear EXtrap…
Extending a Scaling Equation of State to QCD
J. I. Kapusta, T. Welle
Whether Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) exhibits a phase transition at finite temperature and density is an open question. It is important for hydrodynamic modeling of heavy ion colli…
