A 4D -expanded lattice QCD equation of state with a multi-dimensional 3D-Ising-type critical contribution
Francesco Di Clemente, Prachi Garella, Johannes Jahan +5
Inferring the possible existence and location of a critical point on the QCD phase diagram through experimental observations requires equations of state that include both lattice Q…
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…
Donutization Inside Neutron Stars: Shell-Localized Scalar Fields
Hao-Jui Kuan, Alan Tsz-Lok Lam, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1
Heavy scalar fields ( eV) in scalar-tensor gravity are expected to be hidden from neutron-star observations because their Compton wavelength is sub-stellar. We s…
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…
Dynamical tidal response of neutron stars as a probe of dense-matter properties
Abhishek Hegade K. R., Yumu Yang, Mauricio Hippert +3
Dynamical tidal deformations play a crucial role in the gravitational waves emitted by binary neutron star systems during their late inspiral. In this work, we systematically explo…
Mesoscopic chemical potentials across the (hyper)nuclear landscape
Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler
Finite nuclei constrain the dense-matter equation of state (EOS), yet they are self-bound quantum droplets far from the thermodynamic limit. Motivated by an analogy to quantum dots…
