    Measurements of the dynamical correlations between neutral and charged kaons in central Pb-Pb collisions at √s_NN = 2.76 TeV by the ALICE Collaboration display anomalous behavior relative to conventional heavy-ion collision simulators. We consider other conventional statistical models, none of which can reproduce the magnitude and centrality dependence of the correlations. The data can be...

    Recently, machine learning has become a popular tool to use in fundamental science, including lattice field theory. Here I will review on some recent ideas, including normalising flow, phase classification and quantum-field theoretical machine learning. The latter combines insights of lattice field theory and machine learning to provide a fresh perspective on (hopefully) both.

    I will present latest results within the holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model for dense matter at nonzero baryon and isospin chemical potentials. In particular, I will discuss the phase structure including phases where baryonic matter and meson condensates coexist. As an application I will show that the results can be used to construct entire neutron stars, including the inhomogeneous...

    One central question in nuclear astrophysics nowadays is determining the matter structure of neutron stars (NS). With the wealth of newly available and upcoming astrophysical observations, it is of most relevance to find ways to compare the characteristics of potential NS matter phase candidates with those gathered from NS observations. As part of these efforts, I will discuss how some unique...

    The phase diagram of QCD is investigated by varying number of colors N_c within a Polyakov loop quark-meson chiral model. In particular, our attention is focused on the critical point(s); the critical point present for N_c=3 moves toward the mu_q-axis and disappears as soon as the number of color is increased. Yet, a distinct critical point emerges along the temperature axis for N_c=53 and...

The main goal of the NA61 ion program is to explore the most interesting region of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter.

    Employing the density-dependent relativistic mean-field model, we investigate the effect of delta baryons on the radial oscillations of neutron and hyperon stars.

By solving the Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem and verifying its validity, we calculate...

    Understanding the phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is of paramount importance for nuclear and particle physics.

    We study charge diffusion in relativistic resistive second-order dissipative magnetohydrodynamics. In this theory, charge diffusion is not simply given by the standard Navier-Stokes form of Ohm’s law, but by an evolution equation which ensures causality and stability. This, in turn, leads to transient effects in the charge-diffusion current, the nature of which depends on the particular values...

    The QCD phase diagram at large chemical potential is largely uncharted territory. Based on model studies, there are various phases that could occur in this regime. Among them are phases related to spatial modulations, such as inhomogeneous/crystalline phases, liquid crystals or a quantum pion liquid.

    The ghost propagator in Landau gauge is studied at finite temperature below and above Tc using lattice QCD simulations. For high temperatures, we find that the ghost propagator is enhanced, compared to the confined phase. The results suggest that the ghost propagator can be used to identify the phase transition, similarly to the gluon propagator case.

    Evidence suggest that in the chiral limit, the QCD phase transition becomes a second order phase-transition in the $O(4)$ universality class. Since real world QCD is not too far from the chiral limit, it is thus interesting to explore the consequences for static and dynamic correlation functions.

    Experimental data on a wide range of jet observables measured in heavy ion collisions provide a rich picture of the modification of jets as perturbative probes and of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma that is formed in these collisions. However, their interpretation is often limited by the assumptions of specific quenching models, and it remains a challenge to establish...

    One of the most intriguing aspects of strongly coupled quark gluon plasma is near perfect fluidity observed
    in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. One way of quantifying this property is by means of the shear viscosity
    to entropy density ratio $\eta/s$. Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, it has been conjectured by Kovtun, Son
