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…

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…

Deep-learning classification of physically admissible nuclear-matter equations of state

Ahmed Abuali, Micheal Kahangirwe, Francesco Di Clemente +3

Thermodynamic stability and causality impose fundamental constraints on the equation of state (EoS) of nuclear matter. Verifying these constraints conventionally requires calculati…

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…

A new 4D lattice QCD equation of state: extended density coverage from a generalized -expansion

Ahmed Abuali, Szabolcs Borsányi, Zoltán Fodor +7

We present a new equation of state for QCD in which the temperature and the three chemical potentials for baryon number , electric charge and strangeness can b…

Building Neutron Stars with the MUSES Calculation Engine

Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Carlos Conde +25

Exploring the equation of state of dense matter is an essential part of interpreting the observable properties of neutron stars. We present here the first results for dense matter…

Finite density QCD equation of state: critical point and lattice-based -expansion

Micheal Kahangirwe, Steffen A. Bass, Elena Bratkovskaya +7

We present a novel construction of the QCD equation of state (EoS) at finite baryon density. Our work combines a recently proposed resummation scheme for lattice QCD results with t…

Lattice-based equation of state with 3D Ising critical point

Micheal Kahangirwe, Steffen A. Bass, Johannes Jahan +6

The BEST Collaboration equation of state combining lattice data with the 3D Ising critical point encounters limitations due to the truncated Taylor expansion up to $\frac{μ_B}{T} \…
