Morning session 9: Quark-Gluon Matter at Finite Densities and Temperatures
- Roman Zhokhov (Troitsk, IZMIRAN)
We present the results of a first-principles lattice study of the Chiral Separation Effect in finite-density gauge theory with dynamical fermions. We find that the CSE is well described by the free quark result in the high-temperature quark-gluon plasma phase. As one enters the confinement regime with broken chiral symmetry at chemical potential smaller than half of the pion mass, the CSE...
The effect of rotation changes the critical temperature in the phase diagram of hot and dense hadronic matter explored in heavy-ion collision experiments. The recent lattice-QCD calculation suggests that the rotation effect pushes up the critical temperature, and there has been some controversy over the interpretation of this result. In this talk, we use a parameter-free approach, which is the...
The influence of relativistic rotation on the confinement/deconfinement transition in gluodynamics has been studied within lattice simulation. The simulation is performed in the reference frame which rotates with the system under investigation, where rotation is reduced to external gravitational field. Different types of boundary conditions (open, periodic, Dirichlet) are imposed in...
The transport phenomena involving spin are instrumental in investigating quantum effects in many-body systems. In heavy-ion collisions, the recent measurement of spin polarization and spin alignment opens a new avenue to explore the properties of hot and dense QCD matter. Based on linear response theory and quantum kinetic equation, we have systematically studied spin-momentum correlation...
We present the first calculation of the jet transport coefficient $\hat{q}$ in quenched and (2+1)-flavor QCD on a 4-D Euclidean lattice. The light-like propagation of an energetic parton is factorized from the mean square gain in momentum transverse to the direction of propagation, which is expressed in terms of the thermal field-strength field-strength correlator. The leading-twist term in...
Briefly after the Big Bang, the early universe was in a high temperature and high density environment. In order to recreate this state of matter in the laboratory, mini bangs are created by colliding heavy ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and subsequently at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. In this talk I shall be covering on the...
