Glueballs and fractional anomalous determinants at nonzero , and the decays of the X(2370)

Francesco Giacosa, Shahriyar Jafarzade, Győző Kovács +3

Using fractional anomalous determinants, we construct a model of the trace and axial anomalies of a gauge theory at nonzero angle through the couplings to scalar and ps…

String-based model with Hagedorn temperature of MeV describes the spectrum of mesons and glueballs

Michał Marczenko, Győző Kovács, Larry McLerran +1

We consider the thermodynamics of a color-confined phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and pure gauge theory within a string-inspired model, corresponding to a physical spatial d…

Challenges in locating the QCD critical point via constant entropy density contours

Michał Marczenko, Michał Szymański, Győző Kovács

A new method was proposed recently to investigate the location of the putative critical point of strongly interacting matter, governed by quantum chromodynamics. By approximating c…

Anomalous couplings and the Columbia plot

Francesco Giacosa, Győző Kovács, Péter Kovács +2

When the quark masses are lighter than those in QCD, the standard lore is that a chiral transition of first order must emerge for three, light flavors. Recently, however, numerical…

Sensitivity of finite size effects to the boundary conditions and the vacuum term

Győző Kovács, Péter Kovács, Pok Man Lo +2

Finite volume effects are studied both with low-momentum cutoff and with momentum discretization in the framework of an (axial)vector meson extended quark-meson model with Polyakov…

Finite volume effects in the extended linear sigma model via low momentum cutoff

Győző Kovács, Péter Kovács, Pok Man Lo +2

Contrary to field theoretical calculations in the thermodynamic limit where the volume is assumed to be infinitely large, the heavy-ion collisions always carry the effects of finit…

The fate of the critical endpoint at large

Péter Kovács, Győző Kovács, Francesco Giacosa

The phase diagram of QCD is investigated by varying number of colors within a Polyakov loop quark-meson chiral model. In particular, our attention is focused on the critical…
