Scaling of the Surface Free Energy as a Probe of the QCD Critical Region
Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Shensong Wan
The QCD phase diagram is expected to have a critical point that separates the crossover and first-order transition lines. A realistic model that incorporates phase boundary effects…
Causally connected regions in relativistic heavy ion collisions
Olivia Chabowski, Joseph I. Kapusta
Quantifying causal connections within fireballs resulting from high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is pertinent to assessing the viability of several proposed mechanisms that di…
Isospin-symmetry violation -- kaons and beyond (ISO-BREAK 25: summary and outlook)
Marek Gazdzicki, Francesco Giacosa, Katarzyna Grebieszkow +40
This report summarizes the presentations and discussions during the ISO-BREAK 25 Workshop ``Isospin symmetry violation: kaons and beyond'', which was held at Jan Kochanowski Univer…
Relativistic hydrodynamics with spinodal decomposition
Joseph Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Thomas Welle
We introduce the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics that incorporate phase separation via spinodal decomposition. These equations consider surface effects between the two phas…
Relaxation times for disoriented isospin condensates in high energy heavy ion collisions
Olivia Chabowski, Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh
Fluctuations between charged and neutral kaons measured by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC exceed conventional explanations. Previously it was shown that if…
Covariant formulation of spinodal decomposition in rapidly expanding quark gluon plasma
Joseph I. Kapusta, Mayank Singh, Thomas Welle
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is expected to have a first order phase transition between the confined hadron gas and the deconfined quark gluon plasma at high baryon densities. This…
