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,…
