Instantons in QCD

T Schäfer, EV Shuryak - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1998 - APS
The authors review the theory and phenomenology of instantons in quantum
chromodynamics (QCD). After a general overview, they provide a pedagogical introduction …

Matter in extremis: ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC

P Jacobs, XN Wang - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
We review the physics of nuclear matter at high energy density and the experimental search
for the quark–gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The data obtained …

Signatures of the tricritical point in QCD

M Stephanov, K Rajagopal, E Shuryak - Physical Review Letters, 1998 - APS
Several approaches to QCD with two massless quarks at finite temperature T and baryon
chemical potential μ suggest the existence of a tricritical point on the boundary of the phase …

Possibility of spontaneous parity violation in hot QCD

D Kharzeev, RD Pisarski, MHG Tytgat - Physical Review Letters, 1998 - APS
We argue that for QCD in the limit of a large number of colors, the axial U (1) symmetry of
massless quarks is effectively restored at the deconfining phase transition. If this transition is …

Particle interferometry from 40 MeV to 40 TeV

T Csörgö - Particle production spanning MeV and TeV energies, 2000 - Springer
Recent developments are summarized in the theory of Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac
correlations, with emphasis on the necessity of a simultaneous analysis of particle spectra …

Chiral transition and symmetry restoration <?format ?>from lattice QCD using domain wall fermions

A Bazavov, T Bhattacharya, MI Buchoff, M Cheng… - Physical Review D …, 2012 - APS
We present results on both the restoration of the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry and
the effective restoration of the anomalously broken U (1) A symmetry in finite temperature …

Hydrodynamical description of 200A GeV/c S+Au collisions: Hadron and electromagnetic spectra

J Sollfrank, P Huovinen, M Kataja, PV Ruuskanen… - Physical Review C, 1997 - APS
We study relativistic S+ Au collisions at 2 0 0 A GeV/c using a hydrodynamical approach. We
test various equations of state (EOS's), which are used to describe the strongly interacting …

Inverse meson mass ordering in the color-flavor-locking phase of high-density QCD

DT Son, MA Stephanov - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
We derive the effective Lagrangian for the low-energy massive meson excitations of the
color-flavor-locking (CFL) phase of QCD with three flavors of light quarks. We compute the …

[HTML][HTML] QCD transition at the physical point, and its scaling window from twisted mass Wilson fermions

AY Kotov, MP Lombardo, A Trunin - Physics Letters B, 2021 - Elsevier
We study the scaling properties of the finite temperature QCD phase transition, for light
quark masses ranging from the heavy quark regime to their physical values. The lattice …
