The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

With the computational power and algorithmic improvements available today, the ongoing
STAR/RHIC and HADES/GSI experiments, the future FAIR and NICA facilities becoming …

Abstract The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of
providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) …

In this work, we estimate how much bulk viscosity driven by Urca processes is likely to affect
the gravitational wave signal of a neutron star coalescence. In the late inspiral, we show that …

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …

Initial conditions for relativistic heavy-ion collisions may be far from equilibrium (ie, there are
large initial contributions from the shear-stress tensor and bulk pressure), but it is expected …

Collisions between heavy atomic nuclei at ultrarelativistic energies are carried out at particle
colliders to produce the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter where quarks and gluons are …

We review the equation of state of QCD matter at finite densities. We discuss the
construction of the equation of state with net baryon number, electric charge, and …

We review recent theoretical developments relevant to heavy-ion experiments carried out
within the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Our main focus …

Causality is violated in the early stages of state-of-the-art heavy-ion hydrodynamic
simulations. Such violations are present in up to 75% of the fluid cells in the initial time and …
