Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has two scientific objectives of
cosmological focus: to probe the expansion rate of the universe, and to understand …

Phase transitions in a non-perturbative regime can be studied by ab initio Lattice Field
Theory methods. The status and future research directions for LFT investigations of Quantum …

Unlike the electroweak sector of the standard model of particle physics, quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) is surprisingly symmetric under time reversal. As there is no …

Accurately understanding the equation of state (EOS) of high-density, zero-temperature
quark matter plays an essential role in constraining the behavior of dense strongly …

We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of zero-temperature, high-density
quark matter plays an integral role in attempts to constrain the behavior of the dense QCD …

In this paper, we revisit the estimation of the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves
originated from inflation, particularly focusing on the effect of thermodynamics in the …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

Extensive experimental data from high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions were recorded
using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The comprehensive …

This paper describes the conclusions that can be drawn from the data taken thus far with the
PHOBOS detector at RHIC. In the most central Au+ Au collisions at the highest beam energy …
