Searching for the QCD critical point with relativistic viscous hydrodynamics

Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab K. Virk, Isabella Danhoni +3

With the STAR's Beam Energy Scan II, a rich amount of data exists to search for the QCD critical point. However, a central challenge is that the critical point cannot be directly e…

MUSES workflows for pQCD constraints on dense matter with finite quark masses

Isabella Danhoni, Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Débora Mroczek +3

We present a modular implementation of next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) thermodynamics with finite strange quark mass in the MUSES Calculation Engine, enabling r…

Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine

Johannes Jahan, Kevin P. Pala, Yumu Yang +42

The equation of state of hot and dense matter is essential for describing heavy-ion collisions at all collision energies. Here, we explore the capabilities of the latest version of…

Jet Momentum Broadening in Viscous QCD Matter: A Moment Expansion Approach

Isabella Danhoni, Nicki Mullins, Jorge Noronha

We formulate out-of-equilibrium jet momentum broadening in QCD effective kinetic theory through a moment expansion of the medium distribution function, a method traditionally used…

Covariant diffusion tensor for jet momentum broadening out of equilibrium

Isabella Danhoni, Nicki Mullins, Jorge Noronha

Jets are produced in the earliest stages of heavy-ion collisions, where they can interact with a medium that is not yet close to local equilibrium. Motivated by this, we generalize…

Transport Coefficients from pQCD to the Hadron Resonance Gas at finite BSQ densities

Isabella Danhoni

We calculate the shear viscosity, , in two limits: perturbative QCD and an excluded-volume hadron resonance gas (HRG), at finite BSQ densities. Using an interpolation framework,…

NuclearConfectionery: Multi-stage Simulation Framework for Modeling Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions

Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab Kaur Virk, Dekrayat Almaalol +9

We present the NuclearConfectionery, a modular framework for simulating the full dynamical evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Its core hydrodynamic module, CCAKE 2.0,…

Symmetry Energy of 2+1-flavor dense quark matter from perturbative QCD

Isabella Danhoni, Yumu Yang, Mauricio Hippert +1

The symmetry energy expansion was developed to connect isospin symmetric matter probed in nuclear experiments to asymmetric matter found in neutron stars. Using the isospin asymmet…

Hot and Dense QCD Shear Viscosity at (almost) NLO

Isabella Danhoni, Guy D. Moore

The next-to-leading order weak-coupling shear viscosity of QCD was computed 6 years ago. However, these results have never been applied at finite baryon chemical potential , eve…

Shear viscosity from perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics to the hadron resonance gas at finite baryon, strangeness, and electric charge densities

Isabella Danhoni, Jordi Salinas San Martin, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler

Through model-to-data comparisons from heavy-ion collisions, it has been shown that the Quark Gluon Plasma has an extremely small shear viscosity at vanishing densities. At large b…

Novel aspects of particle production in ultra-peripheral collisions

F. C. Sobrinho, I. Danhoni, C. A. Bertulani +2

One of the hot topics in hadron physics is the study of the new exotic charmonium states and the determination of their internal structure. Another important topic is the search fo…

Branch-cut in the shear-stress response function of massless with Boltzmann statistics

Gabriel S. Rocha, Isabella Danhoni, Kevin Ingles +2

Using an analytical result for the eigensystem of the linearized collision term for a classical system of massless scalar particles with quartic self-interactions, we show that the…

Hot and Dense QCD Shear Viscosity at Leading Log

Isabella Danhoni, Guy D. Moore

The leading-order weak-coupling shear viscosity of QCD was computed almost 20 years ago, and the extension to next-to-leading order is 4 years old. But these results have never bee…

Magnetic field in relativistic heavy ion collisions: testing the classical approximation

I. Danhoni, F. S. Navarra

It is believed that in non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions a very strong magnetic field is formed. There are several studies of the effects of this field, where …

Magnetic excitation in relativistic heavy ion collisions

I. Danhoni, F. S. Navarra

In this note we study the conversion of nucleons into deltas induced by a strong magnetic field in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. The interaction Hamiltonian co…
