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…

Electric charge fluctuations from lattice QCD in the continuum limit

Szabolcs Borsányi, Zoltán Fodor, Jana N. Guenther +5

Electric charge fluctuations allow comparisons between theory and experiment, but are elusive on the lattice due to severe cutoff effects. We use a 4HEX action to obtain $…

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…
