781. The equation of state form Lattice QCD with finite $\mu_B$ and $\mu_S$

Jana N. Guenther (University of Wuppertal)

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

In this talk we extend the novel expansion scheme introduced in [1] to explore the impact of a strange and electric charge chemical potential. We focus on the equation of state along the strangness neutral line, which allows us to match conditions in heavy ion collision experiments. We are also able to extrapolate different thermodynamic quantities to values of the strangeness and electric...

860. The equation of state of (2+1)-flavor QCD: An update based on high precision Taylor expansion results

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

Compared to the earlier calculation of the equation of state of QCD with physical light and strange quark masses, performed in 2017, the HotQCD collaboration has accumulated an order of magnitude larger statistics for up to 8th order cumulants on lattices with temporal extent Nt=8 and 12 and added results for Nt=16 that were not available previously. We use these high statistics results on...

840. Searching for the QCD critical point along the pseudo-critical/freeze-out line using Pade-resummed Taylor expansions of cumulants of conserved charge fluctuations

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

One of the central goals in QCD with non-vanishing conserved charge densities is to find evidence
for the existence of the so-called critical end point (CEP) in the QCD phase diagram. Lattice QCD
calculations at smaller than physical quark masses, combined with our model based understanding of
the QCD phase diagram, suggest that this critical point, if it exists, needs to be searched for...

887. Lattice QCD results for the heavy quark diffusion coefficient

Luis Altenkort (Universität Bielefeld)

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

We present a novel approach to nonperturbatively estimate the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient, which is a key input for the theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production in heavy ion collisions, and is important for the understanding of the elliptic flow and nuclear suppression factor of heavy flavor hadrons. In the heavy quark limit, this coefficient is encoded in the...

381. Computing jet transport coefficient $\hat{q}$ in lattice QCD

Amit Kumar

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

The jet transport coefficient $\hat{q}$ is the leading coefficient that characterizes the transverse broadening of the hard parton traversing QGP. The transverse kicks received from the medium changes the off-shellness of the hard parton, which leads to enhancement in the gluon emissions. Since the transverse broadening is the dominant mechanism responsible for the suppression of the...

806. Scattering Theory and Hadrons Gas

Dr Pok Man Lo (University of Wroclaw)

Lattice QCD and heavy-ion collisions

Oral presentation

In this talk I shall review how the S-matrix formalism can be applied to study the thermal properties of interacting hadrons.

The central idea of this approach is to compute an effective density of state from the scattering phase shifts. As the phase shifts encode a wealth of information about the hadronic interactions, the method can robustly handle many dynamical structures, e.g....
