Neutron Star masses from the Field Correlator Method Equation of State
D. Zappala, G. F. Burgio, V. Greco +1
We analyse the hadron-quark phase transition in neutron stars by confronting the hadronic Equation of State (EoS) obtained according to the microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock many…
Heavy Flavor in Medium Momentum Evolution: Langevin vs Boltzmann
Santosh K. Das, Francesco Scardina, Salvatore Plumari +1
The propagation of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) has been often treated within the framework of the Langevin equation (LV), i.e. assuming the momentum transfer is sm…
Thermalization, Isotropization and Elliptic Flow from Nonequilibrium Initial Conditions with a Saturation Scale
Marco Ruggieri, Francesco Scardina, Salvatore Plumari +1
In this article we report on our results about the computation of the elliptic flow of the quark-gluon-plasma produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions, simulating the expansio…
Heavy Flavor Suppression: Boltzmann vs Langevin
Santosh K. Das, Francesco Scardina, Salvatore Plumari +1
The propagation of heavy flavor through the quark gluon plasma has been treated commonly within the framework of Langevin dynamics, i.e. assuming the heavy flavor momentum transfer…
Quark matter in Neutron Stars within the Field Correlator Method
S. Plumari, G. F. Burgio, V. Greco +1
We discuss the appearance of quark matter in neutron star cores', focussing on the possibility that the recent observation of a very heavy neutron star could constrain free paramet…
Elliptic Flow from a Beam Energy Scan: a signature of a phase transition to the Quark-Gluon Plasma
S. Plumari, V. Greco, L. P. Csernai
We employ a relativistic transport theory to describe the fireball expansion of the matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions (uRHICs). Developing an approach to fi…
