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…

Maximally Symmetric Boost-Invariant Solutions of the Boltzmann Equation in Foliated Geometries

Mauricio Martinez, Christopher Plumberg

In this work we study the relativistic kinetic theory of a boost-invariant conformal gas on a static, maximally symmetric background , considering all consta…

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,…

Anisotropic flow in fixed-target Pb+Ne collisions as a probe of quark-gluon plasma

Giuliano Giacalone, Wenbin Zhao, Benjamin Bally +19

The System for Measuring Overlap with Gas (SMOG2) at the LHCb detector enables the study of fixed-target ion-ion collisions at relativistic energies ( GeV…

Unlocking "imprints" of conserved charges in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions

Fernando G. Gardim, Dekrayat Almaalol, Jordi Salinas San Martín +2

Hydrodynamic approaches to modeling relativistic high-energy heavy-ion collisions are based on the conservation of energy and momentum. However, the medium formed in these collisio…
