Searching for the QCD critical point with relativistic viscous hydrodynamics

Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab K. Virk, Isabella Danhoni +3

With the STAR's Beam Energy Scan II, a rich amount of data exists to search for the QCD critical point. However, a central challenge is that the critical point cannot be directly e…

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…

NuclearConfectionery: Multi-stage Simulation Framework for Modeling Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions

Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab Kaur Virk, Dekrayat Almaalol +9

We present the NuclearConfectionery, a modular framework for simulating the full dynamical evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Its core hydrodynamic module, CCAKE 2.0,…

Impact of the pre-equilibrium phase for the determination of nuclear geometry in high-energy isobar collisions

Fernando G. Gardim, André V. Giannini, Frédérique Grassi +2

Ultrarelativistic isobar collisions have been proposed as a useful tool to investigate nuclear structure. These systems are not created in equilibrium, rather undergo a pre-thermal…

Classical and relavistic simple wave problems solved with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

J V O Caetano, L S Nowacki, V S Franção +4

To simulate the expansion of the matter created in relativistic nuclear collisions, codes in 3+1 dimensions are used and we are developing a new one. To benchmark such codes, the S…
