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…

QCD critical surface from constant entropy contours

Hitansh Shah, Tristan Gyure, Anabella Leon +4

We provide the first mapping of the critical surface in (2+1)-flavor QCD in the full space, anchored on lattice QCD results at vanishing chemical potentials an…

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…

Symmetry Energy Expansion with Strange Dense Matter

Yumu Yang, Nikolas Cruz Camacho, Mauricio Hippert +1

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram at large densities and low temperatures can be probed using both neutron stars and low-energy heavy-ion collisions. Heavy-ion collisi…

Dynamical tidal response of neutron stars as a probe of dense-matter properties

Abhishek Hegade K. R., Yumu Yang, Mauricio Hippert +4

Dynamical tidal deformations play a crucial role in the gravitational waves emitted by binary neutron star systems during their late inspiral. In this work, we systematically explo…

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…
