Evening session 2: Quark-Gluon Matter at Finite Densities and Temperatures
- Roman Zhokhov (Troitsk, IZMIRAN)
Hadron yields measured in Pb-Pb collisions by the ALICE experiment at the LHC are very well described by the statistical hadronization model, leading to the phenomenologial determination of the hadronization temperature, which is in a very good agreement with predictions from Lattice QCD. This applies not only for hadrons carrying the u,d,s quarks, but also to hadrons with charm quarks, in...
The observation, in hadronic collisions, of "ideal fluid" type behavior in systems of a comparatively small number of particles, presents a conceptual puzzle, since the way we usually derive hydrodynamics is via approximating "many" particles as a continuum. I will argue that making sense of this requires re-deriving relativistic hydrodynamics as a "bottom-up" theory, with no reference to...
We present our results on the study of the electromagnetic
conductivity in dense quark-gluon plasma obtained within lattice simulations with 𝑁𝑓=2+1 dynamical quarks. We employ stout improved rooted staggered quarks at
the physical point and the tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action.
The simulations are performed at imaginary chemical potential and the
Backus-Gilbert method is used to...
The chiral phase transition for different numbers of quark flavours
I will present the latest progress in describing ultra-dense matter within the gauge-gravity correspondence. Using the holographic Sakai-Sugimoto model, I will discuss the phase structure at nonzero baryon and isospin chemical potentials, in particular pointing out the coexistence of baryonic matter and a pion condensate. As an application, I will show how this holographic approach can be used...
Since the first positive measurement of the Λ-hyperon global spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions by STAR in 2017, the understanding of the nature of this phenomenon is one of the most intriguing challenges for the community. As relativistic fluid dynamics celebrates multiple successes in describing collective dynamics of the QCD matter in such reactions, the natural question arises...
Due to the recent STAR data on the polarization of the $\Lambda$ hyperons produced in heavy ion collisions, it is interesting to consider the QCD phase transition in a medium exhibiting persistent polarization. Since during the chiral phase transition, the quarks acquire dynamical mass and the conservation of the axial charge current $J^\mu_A$ is broken, the chiral chemical potential $\mu_A$...
Dense QCD matter can exhibit spatially modulated regimes. They can be characterized by particles with a moat spectrum, where the minimum of the energy is over a sphere at nonzero momentum. Such a moat regime can either be a precursor for the formation inhomogeneous condensates, or signal a quantum pion liquid. We introduce the quantum pion liquid and discuss the underlying physics of the moat...
We discuss the strong CP problem in the context of quantum field theory in the presence of horizons. We argue that general covariance places constraints on the topological structure of the theory. In particular, as in QCD, it means that different topological sectors of the theory can only sum incoherently, because the degrees of freedom beyond the horizon must be traced over for general...
