Statistical Mechanics of Quarkyonic Matter

Marcus Bluhm, Yuki Fujimoto, Marlene Nahrgang

We extend the theoretical formulation of Quarkyonic Matter within the IdylliQ model framework proposed in [Y. Fujimoto et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 112701 (2024) [1]] for zero tem…

Quark saturation in the QCD phase diagram

Marcus Bluhm, Yuki Fujimoto, Larry McLerran +1

We determine the onset of Quarkyonic Matter corresponding to values of temperature and baryon chemical potential at which the quark phase space density becomes one. At zero tempera…

Renormalized critical dynamics and fluctuations in model A

Nadine Attieh, Nathan Touroux, Marcus Bluhm +3

In the context of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we explore the stochastic and dissipative relaxational dynamics of a non-conserved order parameter in a interaction. The…

Locating the freeze-out curve in heavy-ion collisions

Marcus Bluhm, Marlene Nahrgang, Jan M. Pawlowski

Based on transport equations we argue that the chiral dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at high collision energies effectively decouples from the thermal physics of the fireball. Wi…
