Magnetic fields created in the noncentral heavy-ion collision are studied within a microscopic transport model, namely Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD). Simulations were carried out for different impact parameters SPS energy range ($E_{lab} = 10 - 158 A$ GeV) and highest energies accessible RHIC. We show that magnetic field emerging collisions has magnitude of order $eB_y \sim 10^{-1} m_π^2$ RHIC energies. The estimated value strength LHC amounts to 15 m_π^2$.
We show that fluctuating proton positions in the colliding nuclei generate, on event-by-event basis, very strong magnetic and electric fields direction both parallel perpendicular to reaction plane. The magnitude of E B each event is order m_pi^2 \approx 10^18 Gauss. Implications observation dipole heavy ion collisions discussed, possibility measuring conductivity hot medium pointed out.
We introduce a novel photon production mechanism stemming from the conformal anomaly of $\mathrm{QCD}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{QED}$ and existence strong (electro)magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions. Using hydrodynamical description bulk modes QCD plasma, we show that this leads to yield is comparable conventional sources. This also provides significant positive contribution azimuthal anisotropy photons, ${v}_{2}$, as well radial ``flow.'' compare our results data PHENIX...

Within quark-meson model its Polyakov loop extended version, we show that fluctuations can change order phase transition limit strongly influence physical observables. compute temperature-dependent effective potential baryon-number susceptibilities these models, with without term, explore cutoff pion mass dependence susceptibilities. Finally,...

Thermodynamics of the Polyakov-loop-extended two-flavor chiral quark-meson model (PQM) is explored. The analysis PQM based on functional renormalization group method. An appropriate truncation effective action with quarks coupled to background gluonic fields introduced. Within this scheme, we derive flow equation for scale-dependent thermodynamic potential at finite temperature and density in presence a symmetry breaking external field. influence fluctuations gluon field properties net-quark...
We consider the effect of volume fluctuations on cumulants net baryon number. Based a general formalism, we derive universal expressions for number in presence with an arbitrary probability distribution. The relevance these baryon-number and particular ratios is assessed Polyakov loop extended quark-meson model within functional renormalization group. show that are generally enhanced by critical behavior higher-order may be modified significantly.
In this review, we examine the current theoretical and experimental status of chiral magnetic effect. We discuss possible future strategies for resolving uncertainties in interpretation including recommendations work, measurements based on data collected past five years, beam use coming years RHIC. specifically investigate case colliding nuclear isobars (nuclei with same mass but different charge) find compelling. recommend that a program isobar collisions to isolate effect from background...
We determine the distribution of linearly polarized gluons a dense target at small x by solving Balitsky-Jalilian-Marian-Iancu-McLerran-Weigert-Leonidov-Kovner rapidity evolution equations. From these solutions, we estimate amplitude ∼cos2ϕ azimuthal asymmetries in deep inelastic scattering dijet production high energies. find sizable long-range with magnitude range v_{2}=⟨cos2ϕ⟩∼10%.
We consider a nonperturbative approach to the thermal production of dileptons and photons at temperatures near critical temperature in QCD. The suppression colored excitations low is modeled by including small value Polyakov loop, ``semi''-quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Comparing semi-QGP perturbative QGP, we find mild enhancement dileptons. In contrast, leading logarithmic order weak coupling there are far fewer hard from than usual QGP. To illustrate possible effects on photon dilepton...
We demonstrate that the striking systematics of two-particle azimuthal Fourier harmonics v_{2} and v_{3} in ultrarelativistic collisions protons, deuterons, helium-3 ions off gold nuclei measured by PHENIX Collaboration at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is reproduced color glass condensate effective field theory. This contradicts claim C. Aidala et al. (PHENIX Collaboration), arXiv:1805.02973, their data rule out initial state-based explanations. The underlying effect, as discussed...
This paper introduces a transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) factorization scheme designed to unify both large and small Bjorken-x regimes. We compute the next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections gluon TMD operator for an unpolarized hadron within this proposed scheme. leads emergence of new evolution, incorporating those in transverse momentum, rapidity, Bjorken-x. When matched collinear scheme, our faithfully reproduces well-established...

We show that by including meson fluctuations one cannot resolve qualitative discrepancy on dependence crossover transition temperature nonzero field between effective predictions and recent lattice results [1]. compute curvature line $T\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ plane at increases with increasing On basis...
We show how angular asymmetries $\sim\cos 2\phi$ can arise in dipole scattering at high energies. illustrate the effects due to anisotropic fluctuations of saturation momentum target with a finite correlation length transverse impact parameter plane, i.e.\ from domain-like structure. compute two-particle azimuthal cumulant this model including both one-particle factorizable as well genuine non-factorizable contributions cross section. also full BBGKY hierarchy for four-particle and find that...
The production of a hard dijet with small transverse momentum imbalance in semi-inclusive DIS probes the conventional and linearly polarized Weizsaecker-Williams (WW) Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) gluon distributions. latter, particular, gives rise to an azimuthal dependence cross-section. In this paper we analyze feasibility measurement these TMDs through on nucleus at Electron-Ion Collider. We introduce MCDijet Monte-Carlo generator sample quark-antiquark configurations based...

Recent lattice QCD calculations strongly indicate that the chiral crossover of at zero baryon chemical potential \mu_B is a remnant second-order phase transition. Universal properties this transition can be mapped to temperature T and using non-universal parameters determined by recently. Motivated these results, first, we discuss analytic structure partition function in regime - so-called Yang-Lee edge singularity solely based on universal properties. Next, utilizing results for map real...
