Soft Gluon Radiation off Heavy Quarks beyond Eikonal Approximation
We calculate the soft gluon radiation spectrum off heavy quarks (HQs) interacting with light quarks (LQs) beyond small angle scattering (eikonality) approximation and thus generalize the dead-cone formula of heavy quarks extensively used in the ...

Classical gluon production amplitude in heavy-ion collisions
The initial condition for the formation of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the distribution of quarks and gluons produced in the initial stages of nuclear collisions, is the fundamental building block of heavy-ion theory.

Applying Bayesian parameter estimation to relativistic heavy-ion collisions: simultaneous characterization of the initial state and quark-gluon plasma medium [PDF]
We quantitatively estimate properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions utilizing Bayesian statistics and a multiparameter model-to-data comparison.

Discovery of Quark-Gluon Plasma: Strangeness Diaries [PDF]
We look from a theoretical perspective at the new phase of matter, quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the new form of nuclear matter created at high temperature and pressure.

A divergence-free method to extract observables from correlation functions
Correlation functions provide information on the properties of mesons in vacuum and of hot nuclear matter. In this work, we present a new method to derive a well-defined spectral representation for correlation functions.

The complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma — Statics and dynamics
We generalize a complex heavy-quark potential model from an isotropic QCD plasma to an anisotropic one by replacing the Debye mass m D with an anisotropic screening mass depending on the quark pair alignment with respect to the direction of anisotropy ...

Gluon Condensate and Non-Perturbative Quark-Photon Vertex [PDF]
We evaluate the quark-photon vertex non-perturbatively taking into account the gluon condensate at finite temperature. This vertex is related to the previously derived effective quark propagator by a QED like Ward-Takahashi identity.

Calculating the equation of state of dense quark-gluon plasma using the complex Langevin equation [PDF]
The pressure and energy density of the quark-gluon plasma at finite baryon chemical potential are calculated using the Complex Langevin equation. The stout smearing procedure is generalized for the SL(3,$\mathcal{C}$) manifold allowing the usage of an ...
