We calculate electric and baryonic charge fluctuations on the lattice. Results have been obtained with the highly improved staggered quark action (HISQ) and almost physical quark masses on lattices with spacial extent of N-tau = 6, 8, 12. Higher order cumulants of the net-charge distributions are increasingly dominated by a universal scaling behavior, which is arising due to a critical point of QCD in the chiral limit. Considering cumulants up to the sixth order, we observe that they generically behave as expected from universal scaling laws, which is quite different from the cumulants calculated within the hadron resonance gas model. Taking ratios of these cumulants, we obtain volume independent results that can be compared to the experimental measurements. Such a comparison will unambiguously relate the QCD transition temperature that has been determined on the lattice with the freeze out temperature of heavy ion collision at LHC and RHIC.

Higher order cumulants of net baryon-number distributions at non-zero μB

D. Bollweg, F. Karsch, S. Mukherjee, C. Schmidt

Summary: Researchers constructed cumulative quantities of net-baryon number distributions using recent lattice QCD results, aiming to compare with heavy ion collision experiments. They found that recent high statistics data obtained by STAR on skewness and kurtosis of net-baryon number distributions put strong constraints on freeze-out parameters and are consistent with predictions from thermal QCD.

SEARCHING FOR THE QCD CRITICAL POINT ALONG THE PSEUDO-CRITICAL/FREEZE-OUT LINE USING PADE-RESUMMED TAYLOR EXPANSIONS OF CUMULANTS OF CONSERVED CHARGE FLUCTUATIONS

Jishnu Goswami, Frithjof Karsch, Christian Schmidt, Swagato Mukherjee

Summary: Using high-statistics data sets generated in (2+1)-flavor QCD calculations at finite temperature, estimators for the radius of convergence of pressure and number density are constructed and their properties are explored. The results show that the estimator for strangeness-neutral matter is greater than or equal to 3 in the vicinity of the pseudo-critical temperature.

Toward the chiral phase transition in the Roberge-Weiss plane

F. Cuteri, J. Goswami, F. Karsch, Anirban Lahiri, M. Neumann, O. Philipsen, Christian Schmidt, A. Sciarra

Summary: We discuss the interplay between chiral and center sector phase transitions in QCD with an imaginary quark chemical potential. Based on a finite size scaling analysis in (2 + 1)-flavor QCD, we find that the endpoint of the line of first-order Roberge-Weiss transitions between center sectors is a second-order transition belonging to the 3-dimensional Z(2) universality class. The chiral condensate behaves like an energylike operator in an effective spin model, and its fluctuation, the disconnected chiral susceptibility, diverges at the Roberge-Weiss phase transition temperature for any nonzero value of the light quark masses. Our analysis suggests that the critical temperatures for the Roberge-Weiss phase transition and the chiral phase transition coincide in the Roberge-Weiss plane.

New way to resum the lattice QCD Taylor series equation of state at finite chemical potential

Sabarnya Mitra, Prasad Hegde, Christian Schmidt

Summary: The paper presents a new method to calculate the QCD equation of state based on the cumulant expansion and compares it with other expansion methods. The proposed resummation technique eliminates the bias in the exponential factor, leading to improved convergence.

Contribution to understanding the phase structure of strong interaction matter: Lee-Yang edge singularities from lattice QCD

P. Dimopoulos, L. Dini, F. Di Renzo, J. Goswami, G. Nicotra, C. Schmidt, S. Singh, K. Zambello, F. Ziesche

Summary: We present a calculation of the net baryon number density as a function of imaginary baryon number chemical potential, obtained with highly improved staggered quarks at temporal lattice extent of N-tau = 4, 6. Rational function approximations and determination of poles in the complex plane are discussed. The comparison of results with the theoretically expected positions of singularities reveals consistent behaviors and a temperature scaling in accordance with the expected power law behavior.

Taylor expansions and Pade? approximants for cumulants of conserved charge fluctuations at nonvanishing chemical potentials

D. Bollweg, J. Goswami, O. Kaczmarek, F. Karsch, Swagato Mukherjee, P. Petreczky, C. Schmidt, P. Scior

Summary: Using datasets generated in (2 + 1)-flavor QCD calculations, this study presents results for low-order cumulants of net-baryon-number fluctuations at nonzero baryon chemical potential. The study calculates Taylor expansions for pressure, net baryon-number density, and variance of net-baryon-number fluctuations, and compares them to diagonal Pade approximants to estimate their reliability. The study also constructs estimators for the radius of convergence of the Taylor series of pressure.

Chiral phase transition in three-flavor QCD from lattice QCD

Lorenzo Dini, Prasad Hegde, Frithjof Karsch, Anirban Lahiri, Christian Schmidt, Sipaz Sharma

Summary: In this study, we analyze the pseudocritical behavior and chiral phase transition temperature of three-flavor QCD using lattice quantum chromodynamics. The results show the occurrence of a second order chiral phase transition at zero quark masses and determine the chiral phase transition temperature at a finite lattice spacing. Moreover, the analysis suggests that the extrapolated chiral phase transition temperature in three-flavor QCD is below 90 MeV.

COMPARING CONSERVED CHARGE FLUCTUATIONS FROM LATTICE QCD TO HRG MODEL CALCULATIONS

Jishnu Goswami, Frithjof Karsch, Christian Schmidt, Swagato Mukherjee, Peter Petreczky

Summary: This study presents lattice QCD calculations for 2nd and 4th order cumulants of conserved charge fluctuations and correlations, comparing these with various High Resonance Gas (HRG) model calculations. The results show differences between HRG and QCD calculations near the pseudo-critical temperature, with QCD results for strangeness fluctuations being enhanced over HRG model calculations. Additional strange hadron resonances are suggested to play an important role, while HRG-based approaches fail to describe the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter near the pseudo-critical temperature of QCD.

Simulating Yang-Mills theories with a complex coupling

Jan M. Pawlowski, Manuel Scherzer, Christian Schmidt, Felix P. G. Ziegler, Felix Ziesche

Summary: We propose a novel simulation strategy for Yang-Mills theories with a complex coupling, based on the Lefschetz thimble decomposition. This approach can potentially be adapted to QCD at finite density and real-time simulations, offering a solution to sign problems in Monte Carlo calculations within models with complex actions. Our algorithm demonstrates exponential improvements over standard reweighting approaches, despite facing a residual sign problem.

Quantum entanglement in top quark pair production

Mira Varma, Oliver K. Baker

Summary: In this letter, the authors expand upon the previous work to demonstrate the entanglement observed in top quark interactions. They propose that the thermal component caused by proton collisions with top quarks emerges from entanglement within the proton wave function, and they use published results to show the expected behavior.

Probing the hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances in photonuclear bottomonium production near threshold: Differential observables

E. Ya. Paryev

Summary: In this study, we investigate the near-threshold meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei and explore the possibility of observing non-strange hidden-bottom pentaquark states through differential observables. We calculate the excitation functions and energy/momentum distributions for different production processes and propose that future experiments at high-luminosity electron-ion colliders could provide evidence for the existence of these hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances.

Electromagnetic properties of A hypernuclei with a beyond relativistic mean-field approach

Y. G. Yao, X. Y. Wu, H. Mei

Summary: This study presents a microscopic investigation of the electromagnetic properties of the low-lying states of single-A hypernucleus 9ABe using the HyperGCM method based on covariant density functional theory. The results are compared to those of a particle-rotor model (PRM) and show close agreement. It is found that the electric quadrupole transition strengths are more sensitive to the coupling strengths of the AN interaction than the magnetic moments and M 1 transition strengths.
