Searching for the QCD critical point with relativistic viscous hydrodynamics

Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab K. Virk, Isabella Danhoni +3

With the STAR's Beam Energy Scan II, a rich amount of data exists to search for the QCD critical point. However, a central challenge is that the critical point cannot be directly e…

MUSES workflows for pQCD constraints on dense matter with finite quark masses

Isabella Danhoni, Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Débora Mroczek +3

We present a modular implementation of next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) thermodynamics with finite strange quark mass in the MUSES Calculation Engine, enabling r…

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…

Strangeness Transport in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

Melvin Storbacka, Jiaxi Wu, Alexander Haber +5

The presence of hyperons in the cores of neutron stars opens fast strangeness equilibration channels that can produce bulk-viscous dissipation during binary inspiral. Because these…

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…
