This pedagogical review chapter summarizes first-principles lattice QCD simulations and effective theory calculations regarding the thermodynamics of magnetized quark-gluon matter under extreme conditions of high temperature, density, and strong electromagnetic fields, which are relevant to heavy-ion collisions, neutron stars, and the early Universe.
This contribution employs principal component analysis to decompose event-by-event spectral fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions into distinct thermal and geometric normal modes, establishing a physical analogy to molecular vibrations that explains key experimental observables such as and the sign change at low in .
This paper investigates the impact of sub-nucleon fluctuations on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at the Electron-Ion Collider using a hot-spot model, predicting distinct energy dependencies and -distribution features for coherent and incoherent cross-sections in both proton and nuclear targets.
This paper presents a positive definite formulation for calculating vacuum decay tunneling actions in the presence of spherically symmetric impurities that reduce symmetry from to , generalizing the tunneling potential method and providing analytic examples with arbitrary wall thickness.
This paper presents refined calculations of low-energy absorption on Ar using a hybrid HF-CRPA and statistical de-excitation model, revealing that the standard MARLEY model overestimates DUNE event yields by approximately 20% while potentially improving the feasibility of supernova pointing due to a more pronounced overestimation at backward angles.
This paper proposes that the nanohertz gravitational waves detected by pulsar timing arrays originate from a cosmological phase transition at the 100 MeV scale, a specific energy level naturally predicted by a baryogenesis model involving resonant neutron-dark matter oscillations, which also offers testable predictions for dark matter self-interactions, neutron star masses, and particle physics experiments.
This article proposes a non-perturbative path integral framework that identifies renormalons as saddle points of the one-loop effective action driven by the quantum scale anomaly, thereby unifying their explanation via representative finite-dimensional integrals with that of instantons.
This paper utilizes the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and Casimir effect techniques to derive analytical expressions for the thermodynamics of magnetized BPS baryonic layers within a gauged non-linear sigma model, establishing a unique connection between the grand canonical partition function and the Riemann zeta function while explicitly incorporating the effects of non-zero Isospin chemical potential.
This paper investigates the final state at multi-TeV muon colliders within the Randall-Sundrum model, demonstrating that the production cross-sections are strongly influenced by unparticle parameters, muon polarization, and anomalous couplings, with WW boson decays yielding significantly larger rates than ZZ decays and showing enhanced sensitivity to new physics effects.
This paper proposes a modified TM mixing model that successfully reproduces the current best-fit values of all three neutrino mixing angles within 1 and remains robust against future refinements in experimental data.
