    The event-by-event variations in the initial conditions and subsequent expansion of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) directly affects the distribution of the event-averaged transverse momentum ($[p_{\mathrm{T}}]$) of particles. Typically, the contributions to the transverse momentum from radial flow velocity and thermal components are extracted using simultaneous Blast-Wave fits to...

    Relativistic hydrodynamics has played a vital role in understanding the bulk and the transport properties of the deconfined nuclear matter, the quark gluon plasma, created in high-energy nuclear collision. It is often supposed that the local equilibrium is reached rapidly after the collisions and that the created matter starts to behave as a fluid with small viscous effects subsequently. It...

    Measurements at the LHC have provided evidence for collective behavior in high-multiplicity proton-lead (pPb) collisions through multiparticle correlation techniques. Yet, no conclusive evidence of jet quenching, indicating the energy loss of high-$p_\mathrm{T}$ partons as they traverse the medium, has been detected in pPb. This raises the intriguing question: How can a medium described by...

We argue that for the consistency of the theoretical framework, the energy-momentum tensor needs to be symmetric at least up to order $\mathcal{O}(\partial)$. We...

    Understanding the nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisions is essential, as it critically influences final state observables. However, characterizing the structure of heavy nuclei in high-energy collisions remains challenging.

    This work involves the study of the effects of rotation on the thermal diffusion properties of the QGP medium. The noncentral heavy ion collisions could possess finite angular momentum with a finite range of angular velocity, so, rotation gets induced in the produced medium.

    Anisotropic flow parameters $(v_{n})$ are important observables as they provide insight into the collective expansion and transport properties of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

    Strong magnetic fields are expected to exist in the early stages of heavy ion
    collisions and there is also an increasing evidence that the energy dependence of the
    cross-sections can strongly affect the dynamics of a system even at a qualitative level.

    Light (anti-)nuclei production in heavy-ion collisions can be described by two different mechanisms: the thermal and coalescence models. By analyzing the yields and ratios of the light (anti-)nuclei, we can gain valuable insights into their formation processes and the properties of the system at freeze-out. The enhancement in the compound ratios of light nuclei, such as $N_{t}N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}$...

We thus investigate Urca rates at different temperatures and field strengths by performing...

    2. Initial State - pre-equilibrium dynamics, baryon stopping, intense electromagnetic field

    We study the effects of a static and uniform magnetic field on the evolution of energy density fluctuations present in a medium. By numerically solving the relativistic Boltzmann-Vlasov equation within the relaxation time approximation, we explicitly show that magnetic fields can affect the characteristics of energy density fluctuations at the timescale the system achieves local thermodynamic...

    Intense transient electric (${\bf E}$) and magnetic (${\bf B}$) fields are produced in the high energy heavy-ion collisions. The electromagnetic fields produced in such high-energy heavy-ion collisions are proposed to give rise to a multitude of exciting phenomenon including the Chiral Magnetic Effect. We use a Monte Carlo (MC) Glauber model to calculate the electric and magnetic fields, more...

    We investigate the impact of baryon stopping on the temporal evolution of electromagnetic fields in vacuum at low-energy Au+Au collisions with $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 4$-$20$ GeV. Baryon stopping is incorporated into the Monte-Carlo Glauber model by employing a parameterized velocity profile of participant nucleons with non-zero deceleration. The presence of these decelerating participants leads to...

    As recently observed by the STAR and ALICE collaborations, the global and local spin polarization of $\Lambda$-hyperons provides new insights into spin dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. There are various contributing factors that could be the source of hyperon polarization. However, among them, the vorticity field is widely considered as the primary source of particle polarization in heavy-ion...

    We have explored the heavy (charm) quark drag and diffusion coefficient along the two extreme directions - temperature axis at zero baryon chemical potential and baryon density axis at finite temperature. Quark condensate melts down as we go along either temperature axis or density axis. Hence, being proportionally connected with condensate, constituent quark mass also melts down to current...

    The dynamics of heavy quarks (HQs) in a hot QCD medium are revisited with a focus on anomalous diffusion, modelled through the fractional Langevin equation using the Caputo fractional derivative. A numerical method is developed to solve the FLE, demonstrating that the mean square displacement of the HQs deviates from the standard linear time dependence. The study also calculates the mean...

    Heavy flavors (charm and beauty) are created via initial hard scatterings in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Their early production allows them to experience the entire evolution of the collision. Azimuthal angular correlations of open heavy flavor hadrons with charged particles is an excellent tool to investigate different stages of heavy-ion collisions, as it is sensitive to various...

    possible formation of the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (QGP), based on the phenomenon similar to those observed in heavy-ion (A$-$A)collisions. Inspired by these observations, we attempt to investigate the existence of a QGP-like medium in $p-p$ collision. However, unlike A$-$A collisions, the system size is...

    Collision of heavy nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies offer a unique opportunity to study the formation dynamics of light nuclei. Being loosely bound systems via residual strong interactions, their existence in the hot and dense medium, is very unlikely and possess interesting questions on their production mechanism in these energetic collisions.

    The photon emission from a finite baryonic Quark-Gluon Plasma is analyzed through annihilation and Compton processes using the Boltzmann distribution function. This analysis incorporates a finite baryonic parameter into the quark mass and coupling constant.

    Quarkonium is one of the most important tools to study the strongly interacting medium under extreme conditions formed in heavy-ion collisions. Heavy quarks ($\bar{c}c$ and $\bar{b}b$) are produced in the early stages of the collisions and thus experience the whole Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) evolution. In addition, its significant (re)generation (recombination of uncorrelated charm quark pairs)...

    Recent experimental results on two-particle correlations within jets with extremely high multiplicities in pp collisions highlight a strong flow-like correlation among constituents. This has led to the hypothesis that a hot and dense QCD medium may form within these jets, a phenomenon previously thought to occur exclusively in heavy-ion collisions. One notable characteristic of such medium...
