Deconfinement and the Charge Susceptibility Matrix of QCD
Christopher Grace, Brady Mowbray, Christopher Plumberg
At sufficiently high temperatures, lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations predict that nuclear matter undergoes a rapid crossover to a novel, deconfined state known as t…
Searching for the QCD critical point with relativistic viscous hydrodynamics
Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab K. Virk, Isabella Danhoni +3
With the STAR's Beam Energy Scan II, a rich amount of data exists to search for the QCD critical point. However, a central challenge is that the critical point cannot be directly e…
Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine
Johannes Jahan, Kevin P. Pala, Yumu Yang +42
The equation of state of hot and dense matter is essential for describing heavy-ion collisions at all collision energies. Here, we explore the capabilities of the latest version of…
Maximally Symmetric Boost-Invariant Solutions of the Boltzmann Equation in Foliated Geometries
Mauricio Martinez, Christopher Plumberg
In this work we study the relativistic kinetic theory of a boost-invariant conformal gas on a static, maximally symmetric background , considering all consta…
NuclearConfectionery: Multi-stage Simulation Framework for Modeling Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab Kaur Virk, Dekrayat Almaalol +9
We present the NuclearConfectionery, a modular framework for simulating the full dynamical evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Its core hydrodynamic module, CCAKE 2.0,…
Unlocking "imprints" of conserved charges in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions
Fernando G. Gardim, Dekrayat Almaalol, Jordi Salinas San Martín +2
Hydrodynamic approaches to modeling relativistic high-energy heavy-ion collisions are based on the conservation of energy and momentum. However, the medium formed in these collisio…
