The quark–gluon plasma: collective dynamics and hard thermal loops

JP Blaizot, E Iancu - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We present a unified description of the high temperature phase of QCD, the so-called quark–
gluon plasma, in a regime where the effective gauge coupling g is sufficiently small to allow …

LATTICE QCD AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

E Laermann, O Philipsen - Annual Review of Nuclear and …, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We review lattice QCD investigations at high temperature. After a short
introduction to thermal QCD on the lattice, we report on the present understanding of the …

The QCD axion, precisely

GG Di Cortona, E Hardy, JP Vega… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We show how several properties of the QCD axion can be extracted at high
precision using only first principle QCD computations. By combining NLO results obtained in …

Lattice QCD at high temperature and density

F Karsch - Lectures on quark matter, 2002 - Springer
After a brief introduction into basic aspects of the formulation of lattice regularized QCD at
finite temperature and density we discuss our current understanding of the QCD phase …

Robust approach to thermal resummation: Standard Model meets a singlet

PM Schicho, TVI Tenkanen, J Österman - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Perturbation theory alone fails to describe thermodynamics of the electroweak
phase transition. We review a technique combining perturbative and non-perturbative …

The topological susceptibility in finite temperature QCD and axion cosmology

P Petreczky, HP Schadler, S Sharma - Physics Letters B, 2016 - Elsevier
We study the topological susceptibility in 2+ 1 flavor QCD above the chiral crossover
transition temperature using Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and several lattice …

Quark-gluon plasma as a condensate of Wilson lines

RD Pisarski - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
Effective theories for the thermal Wilson line are constructed in an SU (N) gauge theory at
nonzero temperature. I propose that the order of the deconfining phase transition for Z (N) …

ALICE: Physics performance report, volume I

F Carminati, P Foka, P Giubellino… - Journal of Physics G …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly
interacting matter and the quark–gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC. It …

Approximately self-consistent resummations for the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma: Entropy and density

JP Blaizot, E Iancu, A Rebhan - Physical Review D, 2001 - APS
We propose a gauge-invariant and manifestly UV finite resummation of the physics of hard
thermal or dense loops (HTL-HDL) in the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma. The …

Massive gluons and quarks and the equation of state obtained from SU (3) lattice QCD

P Levai, U Heinz - Physical Review C, 1998 - APS
We analyze recent results of SU (3) lattice QCD calculations with a phenomenological
parametrization for the quark-gluon plasma equation of state based on a quasiparticle …
