Transmutation of O and Ne at the Large Hadron Collider

Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee

In July 2025 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will collide OO and NeNe isotopes in a quest to understand the physics of ultrarelativistic light ion colli…

Strong-coupling dynamics and entanglement in de Sitter space

Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Christian Ecker, David Mateos +1

We use holography to study the dynamics of a strongly-coupled gauge theory in four-dimensional de Sitter space with Hubble rate . The gauge theory is non-conformal with a charac…

Black holes often saturate entanglement entropy the fastest

Márk Mezei, Wilke van der Schee

There is a simple bound on how fast the entanglement entropy of a subregion of a many-body quantum system can saturate in a quench: , where i…

Gravitational Waves from Holographic Neutron Star Mergers

Christian Ecker, Matti Järvinen, Govert Nijs +1

We simulate the merger of binary neutron stars and analyze the spectral properties of their gravitational waveforms. For the stars we construct hybrid equations of state (EoSs) wit…

Coupling Constant Corrections in a Holographic Model of Heavy Ion Collisions with Nonzero Baryon Number Density

Åsmund Folkestad, Sašo Grozdanov, Krishna Rajagopal +1

Sufficiently energetic collisions of heavy ions result in the formation of a droplet of a strongly coupled liquid state of QCD matter known as quark-gluon plasma. By using gauge-gr…

What attracts to attractors?

Aleksi Kurkela, Wilke van der Schee, Urs Achim Wiedemann +1

Whether, how, and to what extent solutions of Bjorken-expanding systems become insensitive to aspects of their initial conditions is of importance for heavy-ion collisions. Here we…
