    The results from the analysis of fluctuations and correlations can help to discover the
    critical point of strongly interacting matter. In the NA61/SHINE experiment the strategy
    of locating the critical point relies on performing a two dimensional phase diagram
    (T-mu_B) scan by measurements of fluctuations and correlations in proton-proton,
    proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions as a...

    One of the motivations for the RHIC beam energy scan program was its capability of providing data for the determination of the temperature- and baryon-density dependence of QGP transport coefficients, such as the specific shear viscosity. This task is complicated by the rich set phenomena that computational models commonly used for the determination of the transport coefficients need to...

    In this talk, I will first summarize the critical behavior of fluctuations of conserved charges expected in the vicinity of the chiral phase boundary. Then, I will show how the finite quark mass or finite volume modifies the divergent cumulants in QCD-like model calculations.Particular emphasis will be put on the importance of the regular contribution to the fluctuations when the singular part...

    In the framework of an SU(3) (axial)vector meson extended linear sigma model with additional constituent quarks and Polyakov loops, we investigate the effects of (axial)vector mesons on the chiral phase transition. The parameters of the Lagrangian are set at zero temperature and we use a hybrid approach where in the effective potential the constituent quarks are treated at one-loop level and...

    Pion production in the backward direction in the target rest frame is considered

    in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions. Pions outside the kinematical boundary of

    proton-nucleon (p+N) collisions, the so called cumulative effect, is studied.

    Basic restrictions on the energy of pions emitted in the backward direction in

    p+N and p+A reactions are considered. These are restrictions that follow...

    We study inverse magnetic catalysis in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model beyond mean field approximation. The feed-down from mesons to quarks is embedded in an effective coupling constant at finite temperature and magnetic field. While the magnetic catalysis is still the dominant effect at low temperature, the meson dressed quark mass drops down with increasing magnetic field at high temperature...

The latter provides a consistent treatment of broad resonances based on empirical scattering phase shifts.

    One of remarkable features in the expected structure of the QCD phase diagram is the existence of QCD critical point (CP), which is the end point of the phase boundary of the first-order between the hadronic phase and the QGP phase. At the CP, the phase transition becomes second order, and thus there should be gapless and long-life modes called the soft modes, which govern the low-energy...

    Many data in the High Energy Physics are, in fact, sample means. It is shown that
    when this exact meaning of the data is taken into account and the most weakly
    bound states are removed from the hadron resonance gas, the acceptable fit to the
    whole spectra of pions, kaons and protons measured at midrapidity in central Pb-Pb
    collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV is obtained. The invariant...

    Using a bottom-up gauge gravity constructions, relaxation rates of strongly coupled field theories are computed. A variety of phase structures are considered, from a crossover up to a first order phase transition. It is established that near the transition the applicability of a hydrodynamic description breaks down at lower momenta than in the conformal case. In the case of the first order...

    Starting from the (Polyakov-) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian, (P)NJL, we formulate a transport theory which allows for describing the expansion of a quark-antiquark plasma and the subsequent transition to the hadronic world ---without adding
    any new parameter to the standard (P)NJL approach, whose parameters are fixed to vacuum physics. This transport theory can be used to describe...

    Recently, the STAR beam energy scan (BES) measured the multiplicity distributions of net protons with the maximum transverse momentum extended from 0.8 GeV to 2 GeV. The related higher cumulants (moments) present large deviations from the poisson baselines, showing the potential of discovery the QCD critical point in experiment.

    In this talk, we introduce a freeze-out scheme for the...

    While the crucial role of gauge topology was recognized from 1970’s,
    confinement was associated with monopoles and chiral symmetry breaking with instantons.
    Recognizing presence of non-zero holonomy, van Baal and others discovered
    splitting of the instantons into their constituents — the instanton-dyons.
    Several groups now work out properties of their ensembles, which generate
    both

    Non-equilibrium evolution of cumulants of critical fluctuations for space-time trajectories on the cross-over side of the QCD phase diagram we be discussed in detail. Memory effects are important. Utilizing a simple model of the space-time evolution of a heavy-ion collision, we demonstrate that, depending on the relaxation rate of critical fluctuations, Skewness and Kurtosis can differ...

    We compare the low eigenvalue spectra of the Overlap Dirac
    operator on two sets of configurations at $\mu_I/mu_I^c = 0.5$ and $1.5$ generated with dynamical staggered fermions at these isospin chemical potential on $24^3 \times 6$ lattices. We find very small changes in the number of zero modes and low lying modes across the transition which is in stark contrast with those across the...

    We apply the wounded quark model to particle production and properties of the initial fireball in A+A, p+A, and p+p collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find uniformity of the approach, as similar production of initial entropy per source
    is needed to explain particle production in all studied reactions and at all centralities. We also investigate event-by-event initial...

    Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) at FAIR has a potential of discoveries in the area of QCD phase diagram with high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures. Anisotropic transverse flow is one of the key observables to study the properties of matter created in a heavy-ion collisions.

    CBM performance for anisotropic flow measurements is studied with Monte-Carlo simulations of...

    The size and evolution of the medium created in a heavy-ion collision depends on collision geometry. Experimentally collisions are characterized by the measured particles multiplicities around midrapidity or energy measured in the forward rapidity region, which is sensitive to the spectator fragments. In the CBM experiment the multiplicity of produced particles is measured with the silicon...

    The concept to classify particles as bosons and fermions and to assume certain properties is very successful in physics. One should keep in mind that for composite particles these classifi?cation is an approximation. In that case the investigated particles are not primitive particles and truly are composed by several bosons or
    fermions.

    The authors try to get estimates on the errors made,...

    We employ a dynamical freeze-out criterion, which requires the hydrodynamical expansion rate to be equal to the pion scattering rate, in an ideal fluid hydrodynamical calculation of spectra at RHIC (EoS s95p-PCE-v1, $T_{chem} = 150$ MeV). We find that the $p_T$ spectra are very similar to those evaluated using freeze-out in constant temperature, but pion $v_2(p_T)$ is reduced by $\sim 10\%$.

    The aim of our work is to develop a unified equation of state (EoS) for nuclear and quark matter for a wide range in temperature, density and isospin so that it becomes applicable for heavy-ion collisions as well as for the astrophysics of neutron stars, their mergers and supernova explosions. As a first step, we use improved EoS for the hadronic and quark matter phases and join them via...

    We present an effective model for low-energy QCD thermodynamics which provides a microscopic interpretation of the transition from a gas of hadron resonances to the quark-gluon plasma by Mott dissociation of hadrons and compare results with data from lattice QCD simulations. We consider the thermodynamics of the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model within the self consistent...

    In this poster, we propose an approach for the Higgs boson as top-quark condensate within non-local Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The advantage of non-local models over local ones is the spectrum of composed particle masses, which has a lower value than the sum of masses of particles of which it consists. By adjusting two parameters in the non-local NJL, the interaction range and the...

    The QCD phase diagram and transitions between quark and hadron phases are in the focus of recent investigations in both theoretical and experimental fields of heavy energy physics. For a description of matter at high temperature and density effective models of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type have proven most useful. On the basis of NJL-type models it is possible to describe the chiral restoration...

    A novel approach to identify the geometrical (anti)clusters formed by the Polyakov loops of the same sign and to study their properties in the lattice SU(2) gluodynamics is developed. The (anti)cluster size distributions are analyzed for the lattice coupling constant {$\beta =[2.3115; 3]$}. The found distributions are similar to the ones existing in 2- and 3-dimensional Ising systems [1]....

    In this poster, we outline a two-phase description of the quark-nuclear matter hybrid equation of state that takes into account effects of phase space occupation (excluded volume) in both, the hadronic and the quark matter phases. For the nuclear matter phase, the reduction of the available volume at increasing density leads to a stiffening, while for the quark matter phase a reduction of the...

    We study the combined effects of two and three-body local interactions as well as the finite temperature on the phase diagram of simple lattice bosons model. In order to handle system with strong local interactions we use the resolvent expansion technique, based on the contour integral representation of a partition function, and to find the phase diagram we derive Landau-type expansion for...

    vHLLE solves the equations of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions using Israel-Stewart framework. In addition to energy and momentum, charge densities are explicitly propagated and included in the equation of state, making the code suitable for simulations of matter expansion with ?nite baryon density. With the help of ideal-viscous splitting, we keep the ability to solve the...
