14. First-Principles Lattice Study of Dense QCD-like Theories

QCD & Nuclear Phyiscs

Invited Presentation

We present first-principles lattice studies of dense QCD-like theories, focusing on two-color QCD where the sign problem is absent. I will discuss results on the phase structure, the equation of state, and hadron spectroscopy at finite density.

Invited Presentation

For decades, deuteron-based experiments established a canonical SU(2) flavor asymmetry in the proton’s light sea, with more $\bar{d}$ than $\bar{u}$ antiquarks, interpreted as a non-perturbative signature. However, these results rely on nuclear assumptions and isospin symmetry. Here, we analyze pure proton collision data from the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC using measurements of Drell–Yan...

57. Heavy flavor and light nuclei production in heavy-ion collisions: Insights into hadronization in QCD matter

QCD & Nuclear Phyiscs

Invited Presentation

Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) create a deconfined state of strongly interacting matter known as the quark–gluon plasma (QGP). One of the main questions in high-energy nuclear physics is how colored quarks and gluons emerging from the QGP evolve into the hadrons and nuclear bound states observed in the final stage of the collision. In this context,...
