Merging multidimensional equations of state of strongly interacting matter via a statistical mixture

Yumu Yang, Prachi Garella, Musa R. Khan +7

We introduce a general method to merge multidimensional equations of state (EoSs) by combining them in a two-fluid equilibrium statistical mixture in the grand canonical ensemble.…

A new effective theory for stochastic relativistic hydrodynamics

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha

Thermal fluctuations are a fundamental feature of dissipative systems that are essential for understanding physics near the expected critical point of QCD and in small systems. Whe…

Causal and Stable Relativistic Hydrodynamic Fluctuations

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha +1

When two nuclei collide close to the speed of light, a fluid state known as the quark-gluon plasma is formed. Attempts to understand the dynamics of this fluid have generated signi…

Second-Order Transport Coefficients in Neutron Star Mergers

Yumu Yang, Mauricio Hippert, Enrico Speranza +1

In neutron stars, flavor-changing weak interactions determine the equilibrium fraction of protons over neutrons. In binary neutron-star mergers, violent changes in density modify t…
