  1. 14. Bulk properties of strongly interacting matter: recent results from lattice QCD
    Dr Claudia Ratti (University of Houston)
    03/08/2016, 09:00
    Bulk properties of the quark-gluon plasma
    Talk
    I will review the most recent results on QCD thermodynamics from lattice simulations. In particular, I will focus on the equation of state at zero and finite chemical potential, the curvature of the QCD phase diagram and fluctuations of conserved charges. The latter will be discussed in relation with the experimental Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC.

  2. 52. The QCD equation of state and fluctuations of conserved charges at non-vanishing temperature and density
    Dr Christian Schmidt (Universitaet Bielefeld)

    Bulk properties of the quark-gluon plasma
    Talk
    We present results from a calculation of the QCD equation of state up to the sixth order in the baryon number, strangeness and electric charge chemical potentials. We consider various cases to express strangeness and electric charge chemical potentials as function of the baryon chemical potential and temperature. Among those, the conditions met in heavy ion collision are best reproduced...

  3. 36. Theta dependence in the deconfined phase of QCD
    Dr Claudio Bonati (Università di Pisa)
    03/08/2016, 10:10
    Strongly interacting Dark Matter
    Talk
    We will present a determination of the topological properties of QCD for temperatures up to around 600MeV, obtained by using Lattice QCD simulations with 2+1 flavours of fermions at the physical point. Numerical results will be compared with the predictions of instanton gas calculations and the implications of these results for the cosmological bounds on the axion mass will be discussed.

  5. 24. The phase diagram of QCD with isospin chemical potential
    Dr Bastian Brandt (University of Frankfurt)
    03/08/2016, 11:50
    QCD phase diagram
    Talk
    We investigate the phase diagram of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential using 2+1 flavours of staggered fermions with physical quark masses at different lattice spacings and volumes. For high chemical potentials and low temperatures the confined phase shows a transition to the pion condensation phase. This phase is characterised by a proliferation of low modes that slow down the...

  6. 41. Topological susceptibility in finite-temperature (2+1)-flavor QCD with gradient flow
    Prof. Kazuyuki Kanaya (CiRfSE, Univ. Tsukuba)
    03/08/2016, 12:15
    Bulk properties of the quark-gluon plasma
    Talk
    We study the temperature-dependence of the topological susceptibility, determined in (2+1)-flavor QCD with improved Wilson quarks. To calculate the topological charge and its susceptibility, we adopt the gradient flow method. With heavy up and down quarks ($m_{\rm PS}/m_V \approx 0.63$) and approximately physical strange quark, we study in the range $T=174-697$ MeV.
