Scaling of the Surface Free Energy as a Probe of the QCD Critical Region

Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Shensong Wan

The QCD phase diagram is expected to have a critical point that separates the crossover and first-order transition lines. A realistic model that incorporates phase boundary effects…

Causally connected regions in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Olivia Chabowski, Joseph I. Kapusta

Quantifying causal connections within fireballs resulting from high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is pertinent to assessing the viability of several proposed mechanisms that di…

Isospin-symmetry violation - kaons and beyond (ISO-BREAK 25: summary and outlook)

Marek Gazdzicki, Francesco Giacosa, Katarzyna Grebieszkow +40

This report summarizes the presentations and discussions during the ISO-BREAK 25 Workshop ``Isospin symmetry violation: kaons and beyond'', which was held at Jan Kochanowski Univer…

Relativistic hydrodynamics with spinodal decomposition

Joseph Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Thomas Welle

We introduce the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics that incorporate phase separation via spinodal decomposition. These equations consider surface effects between the two phas…

Spinodal decomposition in Bjorken flow

Joseph Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Thomas Welle

The QCD first-order phase transition at large baryon densities is expected to proceed by spinodal decomposition. This spinodal phase is likely to leave its signatures on the experi…

Disoriented isospin condensates in heavy-ion collisions

Joseph Kapusta, Scott Pratt, Mayank Singh

Anomalous neutral to charged kaon correlations measured by the ALICE collaboration have defied usual explanations. We propose that the large fluctuations could arise because of a d…

Relaxation times for disoriented isospin condensates in high energy heavy ion collisions

Olivia Chabowski, Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh

Fluctuations between charged and neutral kaons measured by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC exceed conventional explanations. Previously it was shown that if…

Covariant formulation of spinodal decomposition in rapidly expanding quark gluon plasma

Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Thomas Welle

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is expected to have a first order phase transition between the confined hadron gas and the deconfined quark gluon plasma at high baryon densities. This…

Anomalous kaon correlations measured in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC as evidence for the melting and refreezing of the QCD vacuum

Joseph Kapusta, Scott Pratt, Mayank Singh

Measurements of the dynamical correlations between neutral and charged kaons in central Pb-Pb collisions at TeV by the ALICE Collaboration display anomalous…

Equation of State and Phase Fluctuations near the Chiral Critical Point

J. I. Kapusta

The thermodynamics and critical exponents and amplitudes of high temperature and dense matter near the chiral critical point are studied. The parameterized equation of state matche…

Multiple Critical Points in the QCD Phase Diagram

J. I. Kapusta, E. S. Bowman

We use the linear sigma model with two flavors of quarks to study the phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential as a function of the vacuum pion mass. Our c…
