Chiral Doubling, Renormalization Group Fixed Points, and Dense Matter Equations of State

Chihiro Sasaki

We review a top-down fixed-point-extrapolation paradigm as a unified effective field theory framework for hadronic spectroscopy, dense baryonic matter, and compact star physics. By…

Scaling properties of net-baryon number fluctuations at the deconfinement critical point

Michał Szymański, Pok Man Lo, Krzysztof Redlich +1

We investigate the critical behavior of the first four cumulants of the net-baryon number near the deconfinement critical point in QCD in the limit of heavy quarks. By connecting b…

Selected Topics in Quark-Hadron Physics: From Scalar Nonets to Topological Glueballs

Chihiro Sasaki

This contribution reviews recent progress in the low-lying scalar mesons and glueballs. We propose a new classification for the scalar nonet that includes and …

Dilepton Production as a Probe of Pion Condensation in Hot and Dense QCD Matter

Aritra Bandyopadhyay, Chowdhury Aminul Islam, Krzysztof Redlich +1

We investigate dilepton production from an isospin-asymmetric hot and dense medium in order to explore the role of isospin imbalance in electromagnetic spectral properties. We focu…

New nonet scalar mesons and glueballs: the mass spectra and the production yields in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Shigehiro Yasui, Su Houng Lee, Pok Man Lo +1

We propose a new nonet scheme for scalar mesons consisting of , , , and , regarding them as quark-antiquark -wave states…

Charm Quark Kinetics in Heavy Ion Collisions

Valeriya Mykhaylova, Krzysztof Redlich, Chihiro Sasaki

We study the evolution of charm quarks in hot QCD matter with quark flavors by analyzing the charm production rate and the time dependence of their abundance. M…
