Michael Strickland (Kent State University)20/05/2014, 11:10QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkWe present results of a three-loop hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) calculation of the thermodynamic potential of a finite temperature and chemical potential system of quarks and gluons. We compare the resulting pressure, energy density, etc., and the diagonal/off-diagonal quark susceptibilities with lattice data. We show that there there is good agreement between the...Go to contribution page

Francesca Bellini (Universita e INFN (IT))20/05/2014, 11:30QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkHadronic resonances constitute a valuable probe for the properties of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, they provide information on particle-formation mechanisms, the properties of the medium at freeze-out, and they contribute to the systematic study of energy loss and recombination. The study of resonance production in other collision systems such as pp and p-Pb form a...Go to contribution page

Dr Prasad Hegde (Central China Normal University)20/05/2014, 11:50QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkHydrodynamic models of heavy-ion collisions have increasingly begun to rely on lattice results for the Equation of State[1]. While the lattice has the advantage of being a first-principles approach to QCD, the notorious sign problem prevents a direct determination of the equation of state and other thermodynamic observables at finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. In our talk, we will...Go to contribution page

Denes Sexty (University of Heidelberg)20/05/2014, 12:10QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkThe complex Langevin method is extended to full QCD at non-zero chemical potential. The method evades the sign problem which makes naive simulations at nonzero density impossible. The procedure 'gauge cooling' is used to stabilize the simulations at small enough lattice spacings. The method allows simulations also at high densities, all the way up to saturation. The method is...Go to contribution page

Prof. Harvey B. Meyer (Joh. Gutenberg University Mainz)20/05/2014, 12:30QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkStatic and non-static thermal screening states that couple to the conserved vector current are investigated in the high-temperature phase of QCD. Their masses and couplings to the current are determined at weak coupling, as well as using two-flavor lattice QCD simulations. A consistent picture emerges from the comparison, providing evidence that non-static Matsubara modes can indeed be...Go to contribution page

Alexei Bazavov (University of Iowa)20/05/2014, 12:50QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkThe quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the deconfined high-temperature phase of QCD, is currently under extensive investigation in heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the hadronic, low-temperature phase to the QGP is a rapid crossover, manifested by a significant change in bulk thermodynamic quantities. A fundamental characteristic of QCD is the equation of state, which...Go to contribution page
