Recent developments aimed at mapping QCD phase diagram and the search for the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions will be described.
At LHC energies, signatures typically attributed to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation have been observed in small collision systems such as pp and p-Pb. In particular, observables such as transverse-momentum spectra, azimuthal anisotropy in particle production, strangeness enhancement and baryon-over-meson ratios, exhibit behaviors resembling heavy-ion collisions. These observables depend...
I will present the latest results on phases and properties of matter at large baryon densities using holographic methods. I will focus on the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, where baryonic matter as well as quark matter and more exotic phases such as quarkyonic matter can be studied. In particular, I will discuss results for isospin-asymmetric matter and the construction of neutron stars from...
