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…

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…

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…

S-wave kaon condensation in neutron-star matter within a chiral model framework with dynamical meson masses

Yuhan Wang, Rajesh Kumar, Joaquin Grefa +4

We investigate s-wave kaon condensation in dense matter and neutron stars within the updated Chiral Mean Field model with an improved meson description (mCMF), which incorporates d…

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…

Phase Stability in the 3-Dimensional Open-source Code for the Chiral mean-field Model

Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Rajesh Kumar, Mateus Reinke Pelicer +5

In this paper we explore independently for the first time three chemical potentials (baryon , charged , and strange ) in the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model. We design…
