An Extended Chiral Mean-Field Model with Medium-Modified Thermal Mesons for Hot and Dense Hadronic Matter

Micheal Kahangirwe, Rajesh Kumar, Joaquin Grefa +5

In this conference proceeding we review an extension of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model that consistently incorporates interacting thermal mesons with self-consistent in-medium m…

Including Thermal Mesons and Meson Resonances in the Chiral Mean-Field Equation of State

Micheal Kahangirwe, Joaquin Grefa, Mateus Reinke Pelicer +3

The Chiral Mean-Field (CMF) model describes dense matter in terms of baryons and quarks interacting through scalar and vector meson mean fields. In the mean-field approximation, th…

Strongly coupled quark matter in neutron stars and their mergers

Konstantin Maslov, Ralf Rapp, Joaquin Grefa +2

The discovery of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions has revealed remarkable properties of matter at high temperature, with transport…

Thermodynamically Consistent Merging of Multidimensional QCD Equations of State

Prachi Garella, Yumu Yang, Musa R. Khan +7

We present a thermodynamically consistent framework for merging complementary models into a multidimensional QCD equation of state. An internal mixing variable is determined by min…

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…

S-wave kaon condensation in neutron-star matter within a chiral model framework with dynamical meson masses

Yuhan Wang, Rajesh Kumar, Joaquin Grefa +4

We investigate s-wave kaon condensation in dense matter and neutron stars within the updated Chiral Mean Field model with an improved meson description (mCMF), which incorporates d…

Uncertainty quantification of holographic transport and energy loss for the hot and baryon-dense QGP

Musa R. Khan, Ayrton Nascimento, Yumu Yang +5

We investigate several transport coefficients across the phase diagram of a holographic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) model of hot and dense QCD with flavors. Our result…

Chemical potential differentials in the QCD phase diagram from heavy-ion isobar collisions

Joaquin Grefa, Chun Yue Tsang, Rajesh Kumar +3

Temperature and baryon, charge, and strangeness chemical potentials characterize QCD matter under extreme conditions. Differences between these chemical potentials and their ratios…

Merging multidimensional equations of state of strongly interacting matter via a statistical mixture

Yumu Yang, Prachi Garella, Musa R. Khan +7

We introduce a general method to merge multidimensional equations of state (EoSs) by combining them in a two-fluid equilibrium statistical mixture in the grand canonical ensemble.…
