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…

The shape of transverse momentum spectra in hybrid hydrodynamic models

Thiago S. Domingues, Fernando G. Gardim, Cicero D. Muncinelli +8

We study the scaled transverse momentum spectra over a wide parameter space of state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulation models in order to learn what information can be obtained fr…

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,…

Probing the onset of collectivity via scaled particle spectra in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions

Thiago S. Domingues, Fernando G. Gardim, David D. Chinellato +8

We identify a novel scaling in the transverse momentum spectra of produced particles, obtained by removing the global scales of multiplicity and mean transverse momentum. Hydrodyna…

Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars

Giuliano Giacalone, Jiangyong Jia, Vittorio Somà +43

High-energy collisions involving the isobars Zr and Ru have been performed in 2018 at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) a…

Unlocking "imprints" of conserved charges in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions

Fernando G. Gardim, Dekrayat Almaalol, Jordi Salinas San Martín +2

Hydrodynamic approaches to modeling relativistic high-energy heavy-ion collisions are based on the conservation of energy and momentum. However, the medium formed in these collisio…
