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…
Jet Momentum Broadening in Viscous QCD Matter: A Moment Expansion Approach
Isabella Danhoni, Nicki Mullins, Jorge Noronha
We formulate out-of-equilibrium jet momentum broadening in QCD effective kinetic theory through a moment expansion of the medium distribution function, a method traditionally used…
Covariant diffusion tensor for jet momentum broadening out of equilibrium
Isabella Danhoni, Nicki Mullins, Jorge Noronha
Jets are produced in the earliest stages of heavy-ion collisions, where they can interact with a medium that is not yet close to local equilibrium. Motivated by this, we generalize…
Transport Coefficients from pQCD to the Hadron Resonance Gas at finite BSQ densities
Isabella Danhoni
We calculate the shear viscosity, , in two limits: perturbative QCD and an excluded-volume hadron resonance gas (HRG), at finite BSQ densities. Using an interpolation framework…
NuclearConfectionery: Multi-stage Simulation Framework for Modeling Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab Kaur Virk, Dekrayat Almaalol +9
We present the NuclearConfectionery, a modular framework for simulating the full dynamical evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Its core hydrodynamic module, CCAKE 2.0,…
Symmetry Energy of 2+1-flavor dense quark matter from perturbative QCD
Isabella Danhoni, Yumu Yang, Mauricio Hippert +1
The symmetry energy expansion was developed to connect isospin symmetric matter probed in nuclear experiments to asymmetric matter found in neutron stars. Using the isospin asymmet…
