Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles

Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1

First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…

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…

Cosmic censorship in a (dual) collider

Marc Aragonès Fontboté, David Mateos, Guillem Pérez Martín +2

We investigate cosmic censorship in anti-de Sitter space in holographic models in which the ground state is described by a good singularity. These include supersymmetric truncation…

Quantum Null Energy Condition and its (non)saturation in 2d CFTs

Christian Ecker, Daniel Grumiller, Wilke van der Schee +2

We consider the Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC) for holographic conformal field theories in two spacetime dimensions (CFT). We show that QNEC saturates for all states dual…

Heavy Ion Collisions: The Big Picture, and the Big Questions

Wit Busza, Krishna Rajagopal, Wilke van der Schee

Heavy ion collisions quickly form a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with a remarkably small viscosity. We give an accessible introduction to how to study this smallest and hott…
