Tricritical dynamics in - mixtures and QCD
Maneesha Pradeep, Johannes V. Roth, Lorenz von Smekal
In this paper we study the universal critical dynamics near the tricritical points in - mixtures and QCD with two massless quark flavors. In particula…
Theoretical Review of Critical Point Predictions
Maneesha Sushama Pradeep
This review summarizes recent theoretical progress on the QCD equation of state near the critical point and developments in the maximum entropy freeze-out framework, which provides…
Equation of state and cumulants of proton multiplicity in equilibrium near critical point from Pade estimates
Gokce Basar, Maneesha Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
The fluctuations of proton multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions are the key observables in the search for the QCD critical point. In this work we present an approach to constrainin…
Critical slowing down and bulk viscosity in binary neutron star mergers
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Rachel Steinhorst
Hydrodynamic simulations of neutron star mergers rely on the clear separation between the strong-interaction, weak-interaction, and hydrodynamic timescales. In this effective frame…
Factorial cumulants of proton multiplicity near a critical point using maximum entropy freeze-out prescription
Jamie Karthein, Maneesha Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
We present the first application of the maximum-entropy freeze-out prescription to calculate factorial cumulants of proton multiplicities near the conjectured QCD critical point in…
Quantifying fluctuation signatures of the QCD critical point using maximum entropy freeze-out
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
A key question about the QCD phase diagram is whether there is a critical point somewhere on the boundary between the hadronic and quark-gluon plasma phases, and if so where. Heavy…
Practical limitations of the switching theorem for adiabatic state preparation
Thomas D. Cohen, Andrew Li, Hyunwoo Oh +1
The viability of adiabatic quantum computation depends on the slow evolution of the Hamiltonian. The adiabatic switching theorem provides an asymptotic series for error estimates i…
The Hypertriton Puzzle in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Thomas Cohen, Maneesha Pradeep
The yields of hadrons and light nuclei in relativistic collisions of heavy-nuclei at a center of mass energy of 2.6 TeV can be described remarkably well by a thermal distribution o…
Equilibrium expectations for non-Gaussian fluctuations near a QCD critical point
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
With the highly anticipated results from the Beam Energy Scan II program at RHIC being recently revealed, an understanding of particle-number fluctuations and their significance as…
Nonmonotonic specific entropy on the transition line near the QCD critical point
Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Noriyuki Sogabe, Mikhail Stephanov +1
We investigate the effect of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) critical point on the isentropic trajectories in the QCD phase diagram. We point out that the universality of the crit…
Maximum entropy freezeout of hydrodynamic fluctuations
Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
We propose a general approach to freezing out fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions using the principle of maximum entropy. We find the results naturally expressed as a direct relat…
Freezing Out Fluctuations in Hydro+ Near the QCD Critical Point
Maneesha Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal, Mikhail Stephanov +1
We introduce a freeze-out procedure to convert the critical fluctuations in a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that has, as it expanded and cooled, passed close to a posited cri…
Freezing out critical fluctuations
Maneesha Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal, Misha Stephanov +1
We introduce a novel freeze-out procedure connecting the hydrodynamic evolution of a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that has, as it expanded and cooled, passed close to a posi…
The BEST framework for the search for the QCD critical point and the chiral magnetic effect
Xin An, Marcus Bluhm, Lipei Du +40
The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the rel…
Universality of the critical point mapping between Ising model and QCD at small quark mass
Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
The universality of the QCD equation of state near the critical point is expressed by mapping pressure as a function of temperature and baryon chemical potential in QCD to…
