The optical potential is a well-established and widely used tool to describe nucleon-nucleus scattering processes. Within this approach, it is possible to compute the scattering observables for elastic processes across a wide region of the nuclear landscape and extend its usage to inelastic scattering and other types of reactions.

Since phenomenological approaches lack predictive power, we...

32. Finite density QCD thermodynamics from lattice simulations

Paolo Parotto (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

The thermodynamics of QCD is expected to exhibit a very rich structure as temperature and baryon density are varied, with possibly a first order transition at high density and a critical point. Heavy ion collision experiments have been hunting signs of critical behavior for more than a decade, but no clear signal has been found yet. On the theory side, lattice simulations are the major tool...
