Exploring the QCD phase diagram through correlations and fluctuations

Volker Koch, Volodymyr Vovchenko

The exploration of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram is a central goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. This review focuses on the role of fluctuations…

Upper Bound on the Cosmic Baryon Chemical Potential from Lepton-Flavor Asymmetry

Francesco Di Clemente, Alessandro Drago, Lorenzo Formaggio +3

We study the early Universe trajectory around the QCD transition in lepton-flavor-asymmetric cases with small total lepton asymmetry (), while allowing larg…

Searching for the QCD critical point through constant entropy density contours

Hitansh Shah, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha +2

We propose a novel method to locate the QCD critical point by constructing an expansion along contours of constant entropy density. Applying two independent analysis of lattice QCD…

Probing QGP using local charge fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions

Jonathan Parra, Roman Poberezhniuk, Volker Koch +2

We revisit the D-measure of event-by-event net-electric charge fluctuations, an idea first introduced over 20 years ago as a potential signature for the presence of quark-gluon pla…

Indications for freeze-out of charge fluctuations in the quark-gluon plasma at the LHC

Jonathan Parra, Roman Poberezhniuk, Volker Koch +2

The D-measure of net-charge fluctuations quantifies the variance of net charge in strongly interacting matter. It was introduced over 20 years ago as a potential signal of quark-gl…

Lattice QCD constraints on the critical point from an improved precision equation of state

Szabolcs Borsanyi, Zoltan Fodor, Jana N. Guenther +5

In this Letter we employ lattice simulations to search for the critical point of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We search for the onset of a first order QCD transition on the phase…

Building Neutron Stars with the MUSES Calculation Engine

Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Carlos Conde +25

Exploring the equation of state of dense matter is an essential part of interpreting the observable properties of neutron stars. We present here the first results for dense matter…
