The NuMI Off-Axis nu_e Appearance (NOvA) is an experiment designed to study neutrino oscillations. It utilizes two detectors, one located in Batavia, Illinois (the near detector), and the other one located in Ash River, Minnesota (the far detector). NOvA’s neutrino oscillation analyses require precise correlation of events in the detector with the narrow 10μs NuMI neutrino beam pulses. The...

Lattice QCD calculations show that there is an analytic crossover from hadron resonance matter to a deconfined quark gluon plasma at vanishing baryon chemical potential. Many models predict that this analytic crossover changes to a line of first order phase transition at finite baryon chemical potential with a critical point. Due to the Fermi sign problem, we cannot have the lattice...

A plurality of collaborations around the world today employ time projection chambers (TPCs) in highly sensitive detectors to search for evidence of rare particles. The dual-phase TPC detector concept relies on two unique (but related) event signals, S1 and S2, to increase a detector’s robustness against background influences. The Darkside-20k experiment applies this idea to the pursuit of dark...

The RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES-I) program, which covers center-of-mass energies

7.7 GeV to 39 GeV, was proposed to look for the turn-off of signatures of the quark gluon
plasma, search for a possible QCD critical point, and study the nature of the phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter. RHIC BES-I has shown that the partonic interactions are dominant at center-of-mass energies... -

In an effort to better understand the thermal-like behavior and particle yields seen in p-p collisions we recast the problem employing the principles of quantum states and their entanglement in the produced system. We seek to show that this entanglement in the initial state has a measurable effect on the evolution of the system and is the driving mechanism behind the thermal-like behavior and...

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN, we are able to create the hottest and the densest conditions which are similar to those at the beginning of the Universe. During the past ten years, we observed the existence of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) which is formed at the early stages of heavy ion collisions. The measurements we obtained led to significant progress for understanding its...

We apply Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to the classification of phase transitions in statistical models, with a focus on binary classification. Our goal is to test whether a classification is possible based on configurations only, without the need of calculating an order parameter. The study concentrates on the recognition of phase transitions in prominent spin models...

A crucial component to the EIC program is the determination of the collider luminosity. It will be measured through photon emission in the Bethe-Heitler process as it was at HERA. The anticipated high luminosity at the EIC presents several new challenges that necessitate improvements to the base ZEUS pair spectrometer design, which utilizes e+e- conversions of the Bremsstrahlung photons. The...

We analyze particle number fluctuations in the crossover region near the critical endpoint of a first-order phase transition in baryon-rich matter by utilizing microscopic molecular dynamics simulations of the classical non-relativistic Lennard-Jones fluid. We extend out previous studies by incorporating longitudinal collective flow to model the expansion dynamics in heavy-ion...

Proton-proton (pp) collisions with high charged-particle multiplicities at the LHC have revealed similar phenomena to the observed in Pb-Pb collisions, where a strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) is created. These include the observations of radial and anisotropic flow and the enhanced production of strange particles. Since the mechanisms for hadron production are currently not well...
