Constraining the properties of nuclear media at extreme densities has been a long-time goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. Mounting evidence gathered from these experiments suggests that a strongly interacting plasma of quarks and gluons – the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) – is being created within these collisions. The QGP can be well described using multi-stage simulations where...
We discuss how a condensate of non-abelian gauge fields is impacted with gravitational interactions in the early universe. The aim is to provide for new observational physics in the current cosmological background, as relics of early universe phenomena.
Since the derivation of a well-defined D → 4 limit for 4D Gauss-Bonnet (4DGB) gravity coupled to a scalar field, there has been interest in testing it as an alternative to Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations modified for 4DGB gravity, we model the stellar structure of quark stars (QS) using a novel interacting quark matter equation of...
We investigate the mutual information harvesting protocol for two uniformly accelerated particle detectors. We numerically show that, while a single detector responds as if it is immersed in a thermal bath, the quantum mutual information between two accelerating detectors behaves differently than that of two inertial detectors in a thermal bath. This is due to the fact that while the Wightman...
Low-latency detection of Binary Black Hole (BBH) and Binary Neutron Star (BNS) merger Gravitational Wave (GW) signals is essential for enabling multi-messenger observations of such systems. The merger GW signals have changing frequencies and are contaminated by non-stationary noises. Earlier studies of non-templated merger signal detection techniques used traditional Fourier transform-based...
