The so-called Columbia plot summarises the order of the QCD thermal transition as a function of the number of quark flavours and their masses. Recently, it was demonstrated that the first-order chiral transition region, as seen for Nf∈[3,6] on coarse lattices, exhibits tricritical scaling while extrapolating to zero on sufficiently fine lattices. Here we extend these studies to imaginary baryon chemical potential. A similar shrinking of the first-order region is observed with decreasing lattice spacing, which again appears compatible with a tricritical extrapolation to zero.
In this work we study the 3+1-dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in the mean field-approximation. We carry out calculations using five different regularization schemes (two continuum and three lattice regularization schemes) with particular focus on inhomogeneous phases and condensates. The regularization schemes lead to drastically different inhomogeneous regions. We provide evidence that inhomogeneous condensates appear for all regularization schemes almost exclusively at values of the chemical potential and with wave numbers, which are of the order of or even larger than the corresponding regulators. This can be interpreted as indication that inhomogeneous phases in the 3+1-dimensional NJL model are rather artifacts of the regularization and not a consequence of the NJL Lagrangian and its symmetries.
Gravitational-wave cosmology with dark sirens: state of the art and perspectives for 3G detectors
(2022)
A joint fit of the mass and redshift distributions of the population of Binary Black Holes detected with Gravitational-Wave observations can be used to obtain constraints on the Hubble parameter and on deviations from General Relativity in the propagation of Gravitational Waves. We first present applications of this technique to the latest catalog of Gravitational-Wave events, focusing on the comparison of different parametrizations for the source-frame mass distribution of Black Hole Binaries. We find that models with more than one feature are favourite by the data, as suggested by population studies, even when varying the cosmology. Then, we discuss perspectives for the use of this technique with third generation Gravitational-Wave detectors, exploiting the recently developed Fisher information matrix Python code GWFAST.
The OpenLat initiative presents its results of lattice QCD simulations using Stabilized Wilson Fermions (SWF) using 2+1 quark flavors. Focusing on the SU(3) flavor symmetric point mπ=mK=412 MeV, four different lattice spacings (a=0.064,0.077,0.094,0.12 fm) are used to perform the continuum limit to study cutoff effects. We present results on light hadron masses; for the determination we use a Bayesian analysis framework with constraints and model averaging to minimize the bias in the analysis.
We present SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills data for hybrid static potentials from five ensembles with different small lattice spacings and the corresponding parametrizations for quark-antiquark separations 0.08fm≤r≤1.12fm. We remove lattice discretization errors at tree level of perturbation theory and partly at order a2 as well as the a-dependent self energy. In particular the tree-level improvement of static potentials is discussed in detail and two methods are compared. The resulting parametrizations are expected to represent continuum limit results for hybrid static potentials within statistical errors.
The global center symmetry of quenched QCD at zero baryonic chemical potential is broken spontaneously at a critical temperature Tc leading to a first-order phase transition. Including heavy dynamical quarks breaks the center symmetry explicitly and weakens the first-order phase transition for decreasing quark masses until it turns into a smooth crossover at a Z(2)-critical point. We investigate the Z(2)-critical quark mass value towards the continuum limit for Nf=2 flavors using lattice QCD in the staggered formulation. As part of a continued study, we present results from Monte-Carlo simulations on Nτ=8,10 lattices. Several aspect ratios and quark mass values were simulated in order to obtain the critical mass from a fit of the Polyakov loop to a kurtosis finite size scaling formula. Moreover, the possibility to develop a Ginzburg-Landau effective theory around the Z(2)-critical point is explored.
The thermodynamics of QCD with sufficiently heavy dynamical quarks can be described by a three-dimensional Polyakov loop effective theory, obtained after a truncated character and hopping expansion. We investigate the resulting phase diagram for low temperatures by mean field methods. Taking into account chemical potentials for both baryon number and isospin, we obtain clear signals for a liquid-gas type transition to baryon matter at μI=0 and a Bose-Einstein condensation transition at μB=0, as well as for their connection when both chemical potentials are non-zero.
The STAR experiment provides a perfect machinery for studying strange matter for more than two decades. Recently, we developed the express procedure, which allows online monitoring of the collected physics data. The high quality of express calibration and reconstruction provides a unique possibility to run the express production and observe almost in real time strange particles including mesons, hyperons, resonances and even hypernuclei.
The STAR Beam Energy Scan II program, including fixed target Au+Au collisions taken in 2018–2021, is particularly suited to study hypernuclei. Light hypernuclei are expected to be abundantly produced in low energy heavy-ion collisions. Measurements of hypernuclei production and their properties will provide information on the hyperon-nucleon interactions, which are essential ingredients for understanding nuclear matter equation of state at high net-baryon densities, such as inside neutron stars.
With the heavy fragment trigger introduced for the 2021 data taking, we were able to run the express production at the STAR High Level Trigger farm. The collected data were suffcient to observe the decay process of Λ5He →4Hepπ− with more than 11σ significance, measure binding energy as a function of hypernuclei mass, and study hypernuclei decay properties with the Dalitz plot technique.
This work is focused on the anomalous skin effect in copper and how it affects the efficiency of copper-cavities in the temperature range 40-50 K. The quality factor Q of three coaxial cavities was measured over the temperature range from 10 K to room temperature in the experiment. The three coaxial cavities have the same structure, but different lengths, which correspond to resonant frequencies: around 100 MHz, 220 MHz and 340 MHz. Furthermore, the effects of copper-plating and additional baking in the vacuum oven on the quality factor Q are studied in the experiment. The motivation is to check the feasibility of an efficient, pulsed, ion linac, operated at cryogenic temperatures.
