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…

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…
