A doubly critical point in the color-superconducting regime of the RG-consistent NJL model

Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Michael Buballa

Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) models of color-superconducting quark matter suffer from cutoff artifacts once temperature or quark chemical potential become comparable to the model cuto…

The petit four of color-superconducting phases in proto-neutron star evolution

Selina Kunkel, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Hosein Gholami +2

At high densities and moderate temperatures, hadronic matter is expected to undergo a first-order phase transition into a color-superconducting (CSC) state. A proto-neutron star de…

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 finite temperature framework for quark matter with color-superconducting phases

Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Débora Mroczek +1

Current observations of neutron stars and measurements of gravitational waves only provide constraints on the zero temperature () equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. The…

Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter

Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Michael Buballa +3

We calculate the absorption mean free paths of electron and muon neutrinos in two-flavor color-superconducting (2SC) quark matter in the density and temperature range that is relev…

Removing cutoff artifacts in the NJL model by a Renormalization Group consistent treatment

Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Michael Buballa

We summarize how a renormalization-group (RG)-consistent treatment removes well-known artifacts in NJL-model descriptions of color-superconducting quark matter. We introduce two RG…

Comprehensive Analysis of Constructing Hybrid Stars with an RG-consistent NJL Model

Jan-Erik Christian, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Hosein Gholami +1

In this work, we investigate the properties of hadronic and quark matter that would allow for a first order phase transition between them within neutron stars. To this end, we use…

Astrophysical constraints on color-superconducting phases in compact stars within the RG-consistent NJL model

Hosein Gholami, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Marco Hofmann +2

We determine parameters of the renormalization group-consistent three-flavor color-superconducting Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model that are suited to investigate possible compact-st…

Renormalization-group consistent treatment of color superconductivity in the NJL model

Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Michael Buballa

The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and specifically its extension to color superconductivity (CSC) is a popular effective model for investigating dense quark matter. However, the r…
