Resonances of different lifetimes can be used to probe the hadronic stage of the fireball produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For example, the $K^{*0}$ meson, with a lifetime of $\sim$ 4.16 fm/c, decays within the fireball and its decay daughters may experience in-medium effects like re-scattering and regeneration. On the other hand, the $\phi$ meson, having a long lifetime of...
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) equation of state (EoS) at finite temperature
and density is of fundamental importance for the characterization of hot and
dense, strongly interacting matter created in heavy ion collision experiments.
It also has important applications in hydrodynamic simulations and
the EoS of the early universe.
Strongly interacting dense matter created in...
Using a (3+1)D hybrid hydrodynamic + hadronic transport framework with parametric initial conditions, we study the rapidity-dependent directed flow $v_1(y)$ of identified particles, including pions, kaons, protons, and lambdas, from 7.7 GeV to 200 GeV. The dynamics in the beam direction is first constrained using the measured pseudo-rapidity distribution of charged particles and the net...
