Constraints on possible phase transitions above the nuclear saturation density

The equation of state (EOS) of compressed baryon–rich matter remains rather uncertain. Two constraints should be fulfilled within any model pretending to construct such EOS. First, at large baryon densities ρB it should asymptotically approach the EOS of ideal gas of constituent quarks and qluons. A less trivial constraint, which is often ignored, is that the isospin-symmetric nuclear matter sh...

Elliptic flow from pQCD+saturation+hydro model

We have previously predicted multiplicities and transverse momentum spectra for the most central LHC Pb+Pb collisions at √ s N N = 5.5 TeV using pQCD + saturation + hydro (EKRT model) [1, 2]. We now extend these calculations for non-central collisions and predict low-p T elliptic flow. Our model is in good agreement with RHIC data for central collisions, and we show that our extension of the mo...
