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…

Bulk Viscosity of Two-Flavor Color Superconducting Quark Matter in Neutron Star Mergers
Mark Alford, Arus Harutyunyan, Armen Sedrakian +1
This work investigates the bulk viscosity of warm, dense, neutrino-transparent, color-superconducting quark matter, where damping of density oscillations in the kHz frequency range…

Confronting new NICER mass-radius measurements with phase transition in dense matter and twin compact stars
Jia Jie Li, Armen Sedrakian, Mark Alford
The (re)analysis of data on the X-ray emitting pulsars PSR J0030+0451 and J0740+6620, as well as new results on PSR J0437-4715 and J1231-1411, are confronted with the predictions o…
