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…
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…
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…
Sensitivity of neutron star observables to microscopic nuclear parameters of realistic equations of state
Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Carlos Conde-Ocazionez, Veronica Dexheimer +2
The equation of state of matter at supranuclear densities governs the astrophysical observables of neutron stars. A realistic, though complex, description is provided by the Chiral…
Many-body effects on dense matter with hyperons at finite temperature
Rafael Bán Jacobsen, Ricardo Luciano Sonego Farias, Veronica Dexheimer
In this work, we present the first extension of the Many-Body Forces (MBF) Model to finite temperature. The MBF Model describes nuclear matter in a relativistic quantum hadrodynami…
Chemical potential differentials in the QCD phase diagram from heavy-ion isobar collisions
Joaquin Grefa, Chun Yue Tsang, Rajesh Kumar +3
Temperature and baryon, charge, and strangeness chemical potentials characterize QCD matter under extreme conditions. Differences between these chemical potentials and their ratios…
