The event-by-event fluctuations of suitably chosen observables in heavy ion collisions at CERN SPS, BNL RHIC, and CERN LHC can tell us about the thermodynamic properties of …
We study the chiral phase transition at nonzero temperature T and baryon chemical potential μ B within the framework of the linear sigma model and the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) …
We introduce a combined macroscopic-microscopic transport approach employing relativistic hydrodynamics for the early, dense, deconfined stage of the reaction and a …
Extending a previously developed two-phase equation of state, we simulate head-on relativistic lead-lead collisions with fluid dynamics, augmented with a finite-range term, and …

We present a consistent theoretical approach for the study of nonequilibrium effects in chiral fluid dynamics within the framework of the linear σ model with constituent quarks. Treating …

We investigate the evolution of the net-proton kurtosis and the kurtosis of the chiral order parameter near the critical point in the model of nonequilibrium chiral fluid dynamics. The …
We introduce a new scenario for heavy ion collisions that could solve the lingering problems associated with the so-called Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) puzzle. We postulate that the …

We argue for the existence of plasma balls—metastable, nearly homogeneous lumps of gluon plasma at just above the deconfinement energy density—in a class of large-N …
