We study the electric conductivity of hot QCD matter at various temperatures T within the off-shell parton-hadron-string dynamics transport approach for interacting partonic, hadronic or mixed systems in a finite box with periodic boundary conditions. The response of the strongly interacting system in equilibrium to an external electric field defines the electric conductivity sigma_0. We find a sizable temperature dependence of the ratio sigma_0/T well in line with calculations in a relaxation time approach for Tc<T<2.5Tc. The ratio drops in the hadronic phase with T, shows a minimum close to Tc, and becomes approximately constant (~0.3) above ~5Tc. Our findings imply that the QCD matter even at T=Tc is a much better electric conductor than Cu or Ag (at room temperature).

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Soft modes tied to the QCD critical point and color superconductivity create a pseudogap in quark spectra and boost electric conductivity plus dilepton production above the transition temperatures.

  2. The influence of electromagnetic fields on the generation of the directed and elliptic flows of heavy quark in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the PHSD transport model, self-generated electromagnetic fields induce a D meson v1 splitting consistent with STAR within large uncertainties, and a more visible v1 splitting versus pT for charm quarks.
