Title: Fluctuations and the QCD Phase Diagram

Abstract

Here, we will discuss how the study of various fluctuation observables may be used to explore the phase diagram of the strong interaction. Furthermore, we will briefly summarize the present study of experimental and theoretical research in this area. We will then discuss various corrections and issues which need to be understood and applied for a meaningful comparison of experimental measurements with theoretical predictions.

Exploring the grand-canonical phase diagram of interacting bosons in optical lattices by trap squeezing

Journal Article Roscilde, Tommaso - Physical Review. A

In this article, we theoretically discuss how quantum simulators based on trapped cold bosons in optical lattices can explore the grand-canonical phase diagram of homogeneous lattice boson models, via control of the trapping potential independent of all other experimental parameters (trap squeezing). Based on quantum Monte Carlo, we establish the general scaling relation linking the global chemical potential to the Hamiltonian parameters for the Bose-Hubbard model in a parabolic trap, describing cold bosons in optical lattices; we find that this scaling relation is well captured by a modified Thomas-Fermi scaling behavior - corrected for quantum fluctuations - in the casemore »« less

Understanding the out-of-equilibrium dynamics near a critical point in the QCD phase diagram

Journal Article Rajagopal, Krishna ; Ridgway, Gregory W. ; Weller, Ryan ; ... - Physical Review D

Upcoming experimental programs, including the Beam Energy Scan at RHIC, will look for signatures of a possible critical point in the QCD phase diagram in fluctuation observables. To understand and predict these signatures, one must account for the fact that the dynamics of any critical fluctuations must be out-of-equilibrium: because of critical slowing down, the fluctuations cannot stay in equilibrium as the droplet of quark gluon plasma produced in a collision expands and cools. Furthermore, their out-of-equilibrium dynamics must also influence the hydrodynamic evolution of the cooling droplet. The recently developed Hydro+ formalism allows for a consistent description of bothmore »« less

The ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model

Journal Article Tsunetsugu, H ; Theoretische Physik, Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule, 8093 Zuerich ; Interdisziplinaeres Projektzentrum fuer Supercomputing, ETH-Zentrum, 8092 Zuerich ; ... - Reviews of Modern Physics

The periodic Anderson and Kondo lattice model describe the physics of conduction electrons in extended orbitals interacting with strongly correlated electrons in localized orbitals. These models are relevant for the so-called heavy-fermion and related systems such as the Kondo insulators. In this review we summarize recent progress in the understanding of these models, in particular, the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model. The ground-state phase diagram for the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model is determined and shows three distinct phases: a ferromagnetic metallic, an insulating spin liquid, and a paramagnetic metallic state. We present results on these phases obtained from rigorous and approximatemore »« less

Steady state RANS simulations of temperature fluctuations in single phase turbulent mixing

Conference Kickhofel, J. ; Fokken, J. ; Kapulla, R. ; ...

Single phase turbulent mixing in nuclear power plant circuits where a strong temperature gradient is present is known to precipitate pipe failure due to thermal fatigue. Experiments in a square mixing channel offer the opportunity to study the phenomenon under simple and easily reproducible boundary conditions. Measurements of this kind have been performed extensively at the Paul Scherrer Inst. in Switzerland with a high density of instrumentation in the Generic Mixing Experiment (GEMIX). As a fundamental mixing phenomena study closely related to the thermal fatigue problem, the experimental results from GEMIX are valuable for the validation of CFD codes strivingmore »« less
Tuning the quantumness of simple Bose systems: A universal phase diagram

Journal Article Kora, Youssef ; Boninsegni, Massimo ; Son, Dam Thanh ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the phase diagram of a system of many Bose particles interacting with a two-body central potential of the so-called Lennard-Jones form. First-principles path-integral computations are carried out, providing essentially exact numerical results on the thermodynamic properties. The theoretical model used here provides a realistic and remarkably general framework for describing simple Bose systems ranging from crystals to normal fluids to superfluids and gases. The interplay between particle interactions on the one hand and quantum indistinguishability and delocalization on the other hand is characterized by a single quantumness parameter, which can be tuned tomore »« less
