Quantifying properties of hot and dense QCD matter through systematic model-to-data comparison

Jonah E. Bernhard, Peter W. Marcy, Christopher E. Coleman-Smith +3

We systematically compare an event-by-event heavy-ion collision model to data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using a general Bayesian method, we probe multiple model parameters in…

Dissecting galaxy formation models with Sensitivity Analysis -- A new approach to constrain the Milky Way formation history

Facundo A. Gómez, Christopher E. Coleman-Smith, Brian W. O'Shea +2

[Abridged] We present an application of a statistical tool known as Sensitivity Analysis to characterize the relationship between input parameters and observational predictions of…

Charm Quark Energy Loss In Infinite QCD Matter Using A Parton Cascade Model

Mohammed Younus, Christopher E. Coleman-Smith, Steffen A. Bass +1

We utilize the Parton Cascade Model to study the evolution of charm quarks propagating through a thermal brick of QCD matter. We determine the energy loss and the transport coeffic…

Mapping the Proton's Fluctuating Waistline

Christopher E Coleman-Smith, Berndt Müller

We discuss a mechanism for the apparently universal scaling in the high-multiplicity tail of charged particle distributions for high energy nuclear collisions. We argue that this s…

Determining Fundamental Properties of Matter Created in Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

John Novak, Kevin Novak, Scott Pratt +3

Posterior distributions for physical parameters describing relativistic heavy-ion collisions, such as the viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma, are extracted through a comparison of…

A "Helium Atom" of Space: Dynamical Instability of the Isochoric Pentahedron

C. E. Coleman-Smith, B. Muller

We present an analysis of the dynamics of the equifacial pentahedron on the Kapovich-Millson phase space under a volume preserving Hamiltonian. The classical dynamics of polyhedra…
