Critical Point - 5
- Anar Rustamov (GSI Germany, National Nuclear Research Center, Baku, Azerbaijan)
Near the critical point in the QCD phase diagram, hydrodynamics breaks down at a momentum where the frequency of the fastest hydrodynamic mode becomes comparable with the decay rate of the slowest non-hydrodynamic mode. Hydro+ was developed as a framework which extends the range of validity of hydrodynamics beyond that momentum. In this talk, we first discuss the analytic structure of the...
Lattice simulations and functional approaches established that QCD has no phase transition at small baryon chemical potential. However, second order phase transitions are expected at the conjectured critical endpoint at larger chemical potential and in the chiral limit at vanishing chemical potential.
These phase transitions leave an imprint as Lee-Yang edge singularities and can be found...
