Inverse meson mass ordering in color-flavor-locking phase of high density QCD
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
We derive the effective Lagrangian for the low-energy massive meson excitations of the color-flavor-locking (CFL) phase of QCD with 3 flavors of light quarks. We compute the decay…
Spatial 't Hooft loop, hot QCD and Z_N domain walls
C. Korthals-Altes, A. Kovner, M. Stephanov
We show that the deconfinement phase transition in the pure Yang-Mills theory can be characterized by the change of behaviour the spatial 't Hooft loop, V(C). In the confining phas…
Random Matrices and the Convergence of Partition Function Zeros in Finite Density QCD
M. A. Halasz, J. C. Osborn, M. A. Stephanov +1
We apply the Glasgow method for lattice QCD at finite chemical potential to a schematic random matrix model (RMM). In this method the zeros of the partition function are obtained b…
QCD critical point: what it takes to discover
M. Stephanov
This report summarizes the results of the work done in collaboration with K. Rajagopal and E. Shuryak. We analyze the physics behind the event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion co…
Event-by-Event Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions and the QCD Critical Point
M. Stephanov, K. Rajagopal, E. Shuryak
The event-by-event fluctuations of suitably chosen observables in heavy ion collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC can tell us about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at…
