Finding the Scatterers in Hot Quark Soup
Francesco D'Eramo, Krishna Rajagopal, Yi Yin
We present a brief report on a thought experiment in which an incident energetic parton traverses a brick of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), see arXiv:1808.03250 for the full report. We…
The QCD critical point hunt: emergent new ideas and new dynamics
Yi Yin
The QCD critical point is a landmark point on the QCD phase diagram, with potential connections to a plethora of deep questions on the properties of thermal nuclear matter. Future…
Transits of the QCD Critical Point
Yukinao Akamatsu, Derek Teaney, Fanglida Yan +1
We analyze the evolution of hydrodynamic fluctuations in a heavy ion collision as the system passes close to the QCD critical point. We introduce two small dimensionless parameters…
Molière Scattering in Quark-Gluon Plasma: Finding Point-Like Scatterers in a Liquid
Francesco D'Eramo, Krishna Rajagopal, Yi Yin
By finding rare (but not exponentially rare) large-angle deflections of partons within a jet produced in a heavy ion collision, or of such a jet itself, experimentalists can find t…
Searching for the QCD critical point via the rapidity dependence of cumulants
Jasmine Brewer, Swagato Mukherjee, Krishna Rajagopal +1
The search for a possible critical point in the QCD phase diagram is ongoing in heavy ion collision experiments at RHIC which scan the phase diagram by scanning the beam energy; a…
