    The matter at Neutron star (NS) cores are at highly compressed state and
    due to gravity, the density can be built up to a few times the nuclear
    saturation density. They are very compact and have been observationally
    identified with pulsars with their mass being in the range from 0.7 - 3 solar
    masses and a radius between 10-15 km. They are therefore one of...

    We present the first non-perturbative calculation on the lattice of the baryonic screening masses in a wide range of temperature from $1$ GeV up to $T\sim 160$ GeV. The calculation has been carried out by Monte Carlo simulations and exploits a new strategy to simulate extremely high temperatures which was recently used to compute the non-singlet mesonic screening spectrum for the first time in...

    It is important to unravel the internal structure of neutron stars in astrophysics. One effective way to study the interior of neutron stars is analyzing their seismic oscillations. Recently, the chiral magnetic wave (CMW), which is a density wave propagating along magnetic fields due to the chirality of fermions, has been studied in the context of the heavy ion collision experiments.

    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.

    Neutron stars are a remarkable object towards the study of nuclear matter properties under extreme conditions. To extract these properties, we employ Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) that take Mass-Radius pairs observables as input. The BNN output the speed of sound squared for 15 distinct values of baryonic density energy. Our primary objective encompasses two aspects: obtaining the equation...

    Knowing the QCD phase diagram is one of the biggest physics challenges we have nowadays.
    Neutron stars are true laboratories that test extreme conditions, essential to determine the QCD phase diagram.
    In their core, the density can reach $n_B \approx 3 − 8 n_s$ (where $n_s = 0.16 fm^{-3}$ is the saturation density), a range of densities where QCD is unknown.

    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. Since, in the vicinity of the critical point, the physics is governed by universal scaling...

    Light nuclei can be found in core-collapse supernova matter and in binary star mergers. Their presence may impact the evolution of these systems. The presence of degrees of freedom such as hyperons, hyperclusters and Delta isobars may as well impact the composition of these systems at temperatures as high as T~50-100 MeV achieved in both supernova and binary systems.

    Quantum Chromodynamics at high densities is likely to exhibit inhomogeneous phases. The chiral density wave is a simple ansatz for a class of such phases, and it has been extensively studied in models based on quark degrees of freedom. We are exploring the possibility of a chiral density wave in a nucleon-meson model, taking into account the contribution of the Dirac sea. We find that for...

    For the exploration of the phase diagram of QCD, effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lattice QCD provide a valuable tool in the heavy quark mass regime. In practice, the evaluation of these theories is complicated by the appearance of long-range and multipoint interaction terms. On the other hand, it is well known that for theories with such kind of interactions mean field...
