The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) dedicates significant experimental resources for the search of a critical point (CP) - the endpoint of a first order phase transition at high baryonic densities - in the QCD phase diagram. Hence dynamical simulations of the emergence of collectivity near a CP are of particular interest. With my collaborators I discover that in holographic theories...
We expose the experimental and theoretical situation of the interesting case of the production of phi mesons in up to very high energy collisions of hadrons on both nucleon and nuclear targets, and we present a quantitavely good theoretical description of the corresponding experimental data, based on the formalism of the well established Quark-Gluon String Model, that has proved to be valid...
