A 4D -expanded lattice QCD equation of state with a multi-dimensional 3D-Ising-type critical contribution
Francesco Di Clemente, Prachi Garella, Johannes Jahan +5
Inferring the possible existence and location of a critical point on the QCD phase diagram through experimental observations requires equations of state that include both lattice Q…
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…
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…
First order transition region of an equation of state for QCD with a critical point
Jamie M. Karthein, Volker Koch, Claudia Ratti
In addition to signals for the critical point, evidence for a first order phase transition would indicate a nontrivial structure within the QCD phase diagram. Moreover, while not a…
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…
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…
Description of the first order phase transition region of an equation of state for QCD with a critical point
Jamie M. Karthein, Volker Koch, Claudia Ratti
We map the mean-field Ising model equation of state onto the QCD phase diagram, and reconstruct the full coexistence region in the case of a first order phase transition. Beyond th…
QCD at Finite Temperature and Density -- Equation of State
Jamie M. Karthein
As an important set of thermodynamic quantities, knowledge of the equation of state over a broad range of temperatures and chemical potentials in the QCD phase diagram is crucial f…
Updated Hadron List for Transport Simulations of Heavy-Ion Collisions
Jordi Salinas San Martín, Renan Hirayama, Jan Hammelmann +5
Hadronic transport approaches used in heavy-ion collision simulations rely on a consistent and accurate hadron list with decay channels. Hadron lists in common use are often experi…
Fluctuations of Strongly-interacting Matter in Thermal Models at Chemical Freeze-out
Jamie M. Karthein
Fluctuations provide a powerful tool for elucidating the nature of strongly-interacting matter in the QCD phase diagram. In heavy-ion-collision systems, the net-particle number flu…
Theoretical and Experimental Constraints for the Equation of State of Dense and Hot Matter
Rajesh Kumar, Veronica Dexheimer, Johannes Jahan +57
This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results…
Constraints on hadron resonance gas interactions via first-principles Lattice QCD susceptibilities
Jamie M. Karthein, Volker Koch, Claudia Ratti +1
We investigate extensions of the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) Model beyond the ideal case by incorporating both attractive and repulsive interactions into the model. When considering…
Lattice-QCD-based equations of state at finite temperature and density

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
Critical lensing and kurtosis near a critical point in the QCD phase diagram in and out-of-equilibrium
Travis Dore, Jamie M. Karthein, Isaac Long +5
In this work, we study the lensing effect of the QCD critical point on hydrodynamic trajectories, and its consequences on the net-proton kurtosis . Including critical behavior…
Thermal-model-based characterization of heavy-ion-collision systems at chemical freeze-out
