Description

co-hosts: Bjoern Schenke and Julia Velkovska

260. Global Properties of the QGP

Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign)

4/14/21, 3:30 PM

Oral Presentation

In the almost 20 years since the discovery of the Quark Gluon Plasma, our understanding of its properties has changed dramatically. We now understand that the phase transition into deconfined quarks and gluons is a cross-over at vanishing baryon densities that appears to lead to a flavor hierarchy for chemical freeze-out. Out-of-equilibrium properties demonstrated through transport...

151. The sPHENIX experiment at RHIC

Justin Frantz (Ohio University)

4/14/21, 3:50 PM

Oral Presentation

The sPHENIX experiment at RHIC is currently under construction and on
schedule for first data in early 2023. Built around the excellent
BaBar superconducting solenoid, the central detector consists of a
silicon pixel vertexer adapted from the ALICE ITS design, a silicon
strip detector with single event timing resolution, a compact TPC,
novel EM calorimetry, and two layers of hadronic...

159. Heavy Flavor Capabilities of the sPHENIX experiment

Hugo Pereira da Costa (U. Paris-Saclay)

4/14/21, 4:10 PM

Oral Presentation

The sPHENIX detector at BNL’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will measure a suite of unique jet and jet and heavy flavor observables with unprecedented statistics and kinematic reach at RHIC energies. A MAPS-based vertex detector upgrade to sPHENIX, the MVTX, will provide a precise determination of the impact parameter of tracks relative to the primary vertex in high multiplicity heavy...

283. Shining a Light on the QGP - Experimental Summary of Photon Measurements at RHIC and LHC

Friederike Bock (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

4/14/21, 4:30 PM

Oral Presentation

227. Bayesian constraints on the viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma

Jean-François Paquet (Duke University)

4/14/21, 4:50 PM

Oral Presentation

Colliding large nuclei at velocities close to the speed of light can produce a plasma of strongly interacting nuclear matter known as quark-gluon plasma. This nuclear plasma can be caracterised by macroscopic properties such as its equation of state and transport coefficients. These properties can be constrained by systematic comparison with the large number of available measurements from the...
