The overarching science challenges for the coming decade are to discover the meaning of confinement, its relationship to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) - the origin of visible mass - and the connection between these two, key emergent phenomena. There is strong evidence to suggest that they are intimately connected with the appearance of momentum-dependent masses for gluons and...

Chirality of neutrinos modifies the conventional hydrodynamic behavior at the macroscopic scale and leads to anomalous transport phenomena in neutrino matter.

Dyson-Schwinger equations are an established, powerful non-perturbative tool for QCD. In the Hamiltonian formulation of a quantum field theory they can be used to perform variational calculations with wave functionals going beyond the Gaussian approximation. The various $n$-point functions, needed in expectation values of observables like the Hamilton operator, can be thus expressed in terms...

Hadrons carrying heavy quarks, i.e. charm or bottom, are important probes of the hot and dense medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Heavy quark-antiquark pairs are mainly produced in initial hard scattering processes of partons. While some of the produced pairs form bound quarkonia, the vast majority hadronize into open heavy flavor particles. RHIC experiments carry out a...

Often physicists need to calculate the confidence interval for the ratio of two measurements and many times just use the so-called “error propagation” of the corresponding uncertainties, without being aware of the approximations involved and the limitations of this approach. We will explore these limitations, as well as some alternative and more accurate methods. “Exact” methods for the case...

We investigate the phase diagram of QCD with heavy quarks at finite temperature and chemical potential in the context of background field methods. In particular, we use a massive extension of the Landau-DeWitt gauge which is motivated by previous studies of the deconfinement phase transition in pure Yang-Mills theories. We show that a simple one-loop calculation is able to capture the richness...

An example is the dissociation of heavy quarkonium seen in heavy-ion collisions. This was believed to be due to the screening of chromoelectric fields that prevents the heavy quarks from binding, however in the last years several perturbative and lattice...

Accepting that there is a mass gap above the electroweak scale, electroweak effective theory (EWET) is an appropriate tool to describe this sector, where only the Standard Model fields are taken into account. Since the EWET couplings contain information on the unknown high-energy dynamics, we consider a generic strongly-coupled scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking, where the known...

In QCD many quantities, like bound states properties or positions of (pseudo-)phase transitions, can be calculated from the correlation functions of quarks and gluons. The correlation functions themselves can be determined non-perturbatively from various sets of functional equations. Here, truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations are employed for the study of the gluonic sector of QCD at non-zero...

Short range particle repulsion is rather important property of the hadronic and nuclear matter equations of state. I present a novel equation of state which is based on the virial expansion for the multicomponent mixtures with hard core repulsion.

A new analytic non-perturbative, gauge invariant exact solution to QCD is derived. This solution is then compared with experimental data. Specifically high-energy proton-proton elastic scattering at ISR energies. A first proposal for LHC energies is examined also.

An efficient way to study the QCD phase diagram at small finite density is to extrapolate thermodynamical observables from imaginary chemical potential. In this talk we present results on several observables for the equation of state to order (muB/T)^6. The observables are calculated along the isentropic trajectories in the (T, muB ) plane corresponding to the RHIC Beam Energy Scan collision...

While the current heavy-ion programmes at RHIC and LHC address QCD matter at the hoghest achievable energies, but vanishing net-baryon densities, nuclear collisions at lower energies give access to matter at large baryo-chemical potential. This region of the QCD phase diagram is hardly accessible by first-principle QCD calculations, but QCD-inspired models suggest it to have a rich structure....

In a few years — right before and after the November Revolution of 1974 — particle physics, with full wind in its sails, changed very significantly. Quarks, somewhat reluctantly invented during the 1963/64 Christmas holidays, turned out to be for real. QCD and the rest of the Standard Model evolved from being considered a tropical disease affecting an overwhelmed minority of field theorists to...

We study the QGP equation of state using finite quark mass with the finite size effect by taking into account of Multiple Reflection Expansion (MRE). The quark mass improves the calculation of free energy in the formation of QGP droplet. Finally, the model results provide QGP equation of state that matches well with the lattice results.

We discuss how the thermal ground state of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in its deconfining phase is composed of Harrington-Shepard (HS) (anti)calorons that are subject to deformation due to overlapping and static peripheries. The construction first performs a spatial coarse-graining over the central regions for HS (anti)calorons in isolation -- a unique process which determines the temperature...

By extracting the beam with a bent crystal or by using an internal gas target, the multi-TeV LHC beams allow one to perform the most energetic fixed-target experiments ever and to study with high precision pp, pd and pA collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=115 GeV and Pbp...

We compute for first time the spectrum of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, for a system composed of two bosons exchanging a massive scalar. The ladder approximation for the kernel is used. This study is performed directly in the Minkowski space by using the Nakanishi representation of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and the projection onto the null plane or light-front projection. The eigenvalues,...

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, defined as the fractional difference of its gyromagnetic ratio from the naive value of 2, has been measured with an impressive accuracy of 0.54 parts per million in experiment (BNL E821), thus providing one of the most stringent tests of the Standard Model. Intriguingly, the experimentally measured anomaly disagrees by around 3 standard deviations...

Axial charge imbalance is an essential ingredient in novel effects related to the chiral anomaly like the chiral magnetic effect. In non-Abelian plasma with chiral fermions, local axial charge can be generated either by topological fluctuations of the medium or by usual thermal fluctuations. We show how local topological domains in the Quark Gluon Plasma lead to the dynamical generation of an...
