Synchrotron Radiation Dominates the Extremely Bright GRB 221009A
Jun Yang, Xiao-Hong Zhao, Zhenyu Yan +30
The brightest Gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, has spurred numerous theoretical investigations, with particular attention paid to the origins of ultra-high energy TeV photons during t…
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…
Does quark-gluon plasma feature an extended hydrodynamic regime?
Weiyao Ke, Yi Yin
We investigate the response of the near-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to perturbation at non-hydrodynamic gradients. We propose a conceivable scenario under which sound mode…

Baochi Fu, Longgang Pang, Huichao Song +1
In this proceeding, we present our recent prediction on the local net Lambda polarization to search for the baryonic spin Hall effect (SHE) at RHIC BES energies. The baryonic SHE i…
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…

Jasmine Brewer, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Yi Yin
In this work we aim to gain qualitative insight on the far-from-equilibrium behavior of the gluon plasma produced in the early stages of a heavy-ion collision. It was recently disc…

Noriyuki Sogabe, Yi Yin
The non-Gaussian fluctuations of baryon density are sensitive to the presence of the conjectured QCD critical point. Their observational consequences are crucial for the ongoing ex…

Noriyuki Sogabe, Naoki Yamamoto, Yi Yin
We analyze the combined effects of hydrodynamic fluctuations and chiral magnetic effect (CME) for a chiral medium in the presence of a background magnetic field. Based on the recen…
