Transport-based initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions at finite densities

H. Roch, G. Pihan, A. Monnai +53

We employ the SMASH transport model to provide event-by-event initial conditions for the energy-momentum tensor and conserved charge currents in hydrodynamic simulations of relativ…

Signatures of QCD conductivities in heavy-ion collisions

Akihiko Monnai, Grégoire Pihan, Björn Schenke +1

Dissipative processes are pivotal for understanding the hydrodynamic evolution of hot and dense QCD matter created in relativistic nuclear collisions. The interplay of multiple con…

Neutron Skin from Conserved Charge Measurements at Collider Experiments

Grégoire Pihan, Akihiko Monnai, Björn Schenke +1

We propose a novel method for measuring the neutron skin of heavy nuclei using collider experiments. Specifically, we demonstrate that the neutron skin thickness of the lead nucleu…

Probing momentum dependence of hydrodynamization in heavy-ion collisions

Akihiko Monnai

The fluidity of the hot and dense QCD matter is a key characteristic of the medium created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We extend the framework of the relativistic hydrodyn…

Four-dimensional QCD equation of state at finite chemical potentials

Akihiko Monnai, Grégoire Pihan, Björn Schenke +1

Exploration of the QCD phase diagram is pivotal in particle and nuclear physics. We construct a full four-dimensional equation of state of QCD with net baryon, electric charge, and…
