An Extended Chiral Mean-Field Model with Medium-Modified Thermal Mesons for Hot and Dense Hadronic Matter

Micheal Kahangirwe, Rajesh Kumar, Joaquin Grefa +5

In this conference proceeding we review an extension of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model that consistently incorporates interacting thermal mesons with self-consistent in-medium m…

Including Thermal Mesons and Meson Resonances in the Chiral Mean-Field Equation of State

Micheal Kahangirwe, Joaquin Grefa, Mateus Reinke Pelicer +3

The Chiral Mean-Field (CMF) model describes dense matter in terms of baryons and quarks interacting through scalar and vector meson mean fields. In the mean-field approximation, th…

How strange: Phase diagrams with 3 critical points

Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz Camacho, Rajesh Kumar +2

We show that the Chiral Mean-Field model (CMF) can produce a phase diagram with three critical points: the nuclear liquid-gas transition, quark deconfinement, and a strangeness dri…

Strongly coupled quark matter in neutron stars and their mergers

Konstantin Maslov, Ralf Rapp, Joaquin Grefa +2

The discovery of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions has revealed remarkable properties of matter at high temperature, with transport…

The equation of state for neutron stars

Veronica Dexheimer

This chapter is intended as an introduction to dense matter and the equation of state of neutron stars and their mergers. It begins with a brief description of neutron star interio…

Neural-Accelerated Bayesian Calibration of Chiral Mean-Field Models to Nuclear Saturation and Vacuum Properties

Isaac Legred, Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Veronica Dexheimer +2

Chiral models of nuclear interactions provide approximate, phenomenological descriptions of dense matter that respect the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. Their Lagrangian par…
