science. In this article a detailed review on the development of optical atomic clocks that are …

Extremely high-intensity laser interactions with fundamental<? format?> quantum systems

A Di Piazza, C Müller, KZ Hatsagortsyan… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2012 - APS
The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

Trace anomaly as signature of conformality in neutron stars

Y Fujimoto, K Fukushima, LD McLerran… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We discuss an interpretation that a peak in the sound velocity in neutron star matter, as
suggested by the observational data, signifies strongly coupled conformal matter. The …

Equation of state in ()-flavor QCD

A Bazavov, T Bhattacharya, C DeTar, HT Ding… - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We present results for the equation of state in (2+ 1)-flavor QCD using the highly improved
staggered quark action and lattices with temporal extent N τ= 6, 8, 10, and 12. We show that …

Overview of the QCD phase diagram: Recent progress from the lattice

JN Guenther - The European Physical Journal A, 2021 - Springer
In recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase
diagram with lattice QCD simulations. In this review we focus on the developments in the last …

Chiral and deconfinement aspects of the QCD transition

A Bazavov, T Bhattacharya, M Cheng, C DeTar… - Physical Review D …, 2012 - APS
We present results on the chiral and deconfinement properties of the QCD transition at finite
temperature. Calculations are performed with 2+ 1 flavors of quarks using the p4, asqtad …

Heavy quarkonium: progress, puzzles, and opportunities

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, BK Heltsley, R Vogt… - The European Physical …, 2011 - Springer
A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

Event-by-event fluctuations in a perturbative QCD+ saturation+ hydrodynamics model: Determining QCD matter shear viscosity in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

H Niemi, KJ Eskola, R Paatelainen - Physical Review C, 2016 - APS
We introduce an event-by-event perturbative-QCD+ saturation+ hydro (“EKRT”) framework
for ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, where we compute the produced fluctuating QCD …

Bulk properties of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions from the beam energy scan program
