| SUMMARY OF WEEK 1 | C421 | ||
| Coffee Break | C421 | ||
| FUNCTIONAL QCD, LYE SINGULARITIES, AND AdS/CFT: FRG, DSE, expansions of LQCD at muB^2<0, and holography yield predictions for the QCD CP. What are the current systematic errors? | C. Fischer, L. McLerran, J. Noronha, J. Pawlowski, V. Skokov | C421 | |
| Lunch break | |||
| Afternoon discussion | C423 |
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| LQCD- AND HRG-BASED APPROACHES: Analytic continuation of the LQCD data and thermal models: What region of the QCD phase diagram can we reliably study? | J. Karthein, R. Poberezhniuk, C. Ratti, H. Shah, V. Vovchenko | C421 | |
| Coffee break | C421 | ||
| SIMULATIONS: Can transport, hybrid models, and molecular dynamics be relied on to provide estimates of fluctuation observables with and without a CP? If they can, what will it take? | H. Elfner, I. Karpenko, V. Kuznietsov, D. Mroczek, J. Noronha-Hostler | C421 | |
| Lunch break | |||
| Afternoon discussion | C423 |
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIGHER-ORDER FLUCTUATIONS (EXP): What can we learn from the energy and acceptance dependence? Can current dynamic models be trusted as baselines? Can other observables be found to corroborate possible deviations? | X. Dong, A. Pandav, N. Xu | C421 | |
| Coffee break | C421 | ||
| HIGHER-ORDER FLUCTUATIONS (TH): Higher-order fluctuation measurements from BES-II: What do they tell us about the QCD phase diagram? | V. Koch, M. Stephanov, V. Vovchenko | C421 | |
| Lunch break | |||
| Afternoon discussion | C423 |
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| DYNAMICS OF FLUCTUATIONS: Critical dynamics in heavy-ion collisions: When can we expect realistic simulations and how will they help interpret measured fluctuations? | B. Fu, M. Harhoff, M. Pradeep, T. Schaefer, M. Stephanov | C421 | |
| Coffee Break | C421 | ||
| NEUTRON STARS: Neutron star studies put constraints on the QCD EOS: What can they tell us about the CP of nearly-isospin symmetric matter? | C. Ecker, M. Marczenko, D. Mroczek, J. Noronha-Hostler, T. Zhao | C421 | |
