  1. Unified Functional-Holographic Theory of the QCD Critical End Point

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A coupled DSE-FRG-holographic model predicts the QCD critical end point at T_CEP approximately 130-135 MeV and mu_B,CEP approximately 600 MeV, with sensitivity to regulator and normalization choices.

  2. Diffusion of multiple conserved charges from entropy production

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives diffusion matrix elements for baryon, charge, and strangeness transport in relativistic hydrodynamics from entropy production within the relaxation-time approximation.

  3. Functional renormalization group study of the jet quenching parameter near the QCD critical end point

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    fRG calculations show the jet quenching parameter hat q is enhanced above the chiral boundary and peaks near the QCD critical end point due to critical sigma fluctuations.

  4. CP-violating multi-field phase transitions and gravitational waves in a hidden NJL sector

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Multi-field tunneling analysis in a CP-violating NJL model yields a slow transition (β/H ~ 100) whose stochastic gravitational-wave signal is detectable by μAres and insensitive to the CP angle.

  5. CP-violating multi-field phase transitions and gravitational waves in a hidden NJL sector

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Multi-field CP-violating phase transitions in a hidden NJL sector produce undetectable stochastic gravitational waves but remain cosmologically viable due to prompt domain wall collapse.

  6. QCD phase transition at finite isospin density and magnetic field

    nucl-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the NJL model, increasing isospin chemical potential favors pion superfluidity at small magnetic fields and rho superconductivity at large magnetic fields.

  7. Quark Number Susceptibilities and Conserved Charge Fluctuations in $(2+1)$-flavor QCD with M\"obius domain-wall fermions (MDWF)

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find that conserved charge fluctuations in (2+1)-flavor QCD match hadron resonance gas predictions below the pseudocritical temperature and rise toward free-quark l...

  8. Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    The MUSES Calliope engine computes multi-dimensional QCD equations of state, merges them consistently, and feeds them into viscous hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions with movable critical points and crit...

  9. Spectral function for pions in magnetic field

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Pion spectral functions in magnetic fields develop multi-peak structures for neutral pions from Landau levels and Landau cuts for charged pions, with decay widths narrowing at higher temperatures indicating increased ...
