Modern nuclear and astrophysical constraints of dense matter in a renormalized chiral approach

Rajesh Kumar, Yuhan Wang, Nikolas Cruz Camacho +3

We explore the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram's complexities, including quark deconfinement transitions, liquid-gas phase changes, and critical points, using the chiral…

Bayesian location of the QCD critical point from a holographic perspective

Mauricio Hippert, Joaquin Grefa, T. Andrew Manning +6

A fundamental question in QCD is the existence of a phase transition at large doping of quarks over antiquarks. We present the first prediction of a QCD critical point (CP) from a…

Multi-particle correlations, cumulants, and moments sensitive to fluctuations in rare-probe azimuthal anisotropy in heavy ion collisions

Abraham Holtermann, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler, Anne M. Sickles +1

Correlations of two or more particles have been an essential tool for understanding the hydrodynamic behavior of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultra-relativistic nuclear collis…

Hot QCD Phase Diagram From Holographic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Models

Romulo Rougemont, Joaquin Grefa, Mauricio Hippert +4

In this review, we provide an up-to-date account of quantitative holographic descriptions of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions, based o…

Critical lensing and kurtosis near a critical point in the QCD phase diagram in and out-of-equilibrium

Travis Dore, Jamie M. Karthein, Isaac Long +5

In this work, we study the lensing effect of the QCD critical point on hydrodynamic trajectories, and its consequences on the net-proton kurtosis . Including critical behavior…

Transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma at the critical point and across the first-order line

Joaquin Grefa, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha +4

A bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic model is used to compute, for the first time, the behavior of several transport coefficients of the hot and baryon-rich strongly co…

The slope, the hill, the drop, and the swoosh: Learning about the nuclear matter equation of state from the binary Love relations

Hung Tan, Veronica Dexheimer, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1

Analyses that connect astrophysical observations of neutron stars with nuclear matter properties sometimes rely on equation-of-state insensitive relations. We show that the slope o…

Extreme Matter meets Extreme Gravity: Ultra-heavy neutron stars with crossovers and first-order phase transitions

Hung Tan, Travis Dore, Veronica Dexheimer +2

The speed of sound of the matter within neutron stars may contain non-smooth structure related to first-order phase transitions or or crossovers. Here we investigate what are the o…

Building a testable shear viscosity across the QCD phase diagram

Emma McLaughlin, Jacob Rose, Travis Dore +3

Current experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are probing finite baryon densities where the shear viscosity to enthalpy ratio of the Quark Gluon Plasma r…

Causality violations in realistic simulations of heavy-ion collisions

Christopher Plumberg, Dekrayat Almaalol, Travis Dore +2

Causality is violated in the early stages of state-of-the-art heavy-ion hydrodynamic simulations. Such violations are present in up to 75% of the fluid cells in the initial time an…

Mirror Neutron Stars

Maurício Hippert, Jack Setford, Hung Tan +3

The fundamental nature of dark matter is entirely unknown. A compelling candidate is Twin Higgs mirror matter, invisible hidden-sector cousins of the Standard Model particles and f…
