Title: Finite chemical potential equation of state for QCD from an alternative expansion scheme
The Taylor expansion approach to the equation of state of QCD at finite chemical potential struggles to reach large chemical potential μ B . This is primarily due to the intrinsic diffculty in precisely determining higher order Taylor coefficients, as well as the structure of the temperature dependence of such observables. In these proceedings, we illustrate a novel scheme [1] that allows us to extrapolate the equation of state of QCD without suffering from the poor convergence typical of the Taylor expansion approach. We continuum extrapolate the coefficients of our new expansion scheme and show the thermodynamic observables up to μ B / T ≤ 3.5.  more » « less

    In this contribution we present a resummation of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) equation of state from lattice simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. We generalize the scheme introduced in a previous work [1], to the case of non-zero strangeness chemical potential. We present continuum extrapolated results for thermodynamic observables in the temperature range 130MeV ≤ T ≤ 280 MeV, for chemical potentials up to μ B / T = 3:5, along the strangeness neutral line. Furthermore, we relax the constraint of strangeness neutrality, by extrapolating to small values of the strangeness-to-baryon-number ratio R = n S / n B .

    The BEST Collaboration equation of state combining lattice data with the 3D Ising critical point encounters limitations due to the truncated Taylor expansion up toμB/T~ 2.5. This truncation consequently restricts its applicability at high densities. Through a resummation scheme, the lattice results have been extended toμB/T= 3.5. In this article, we amalgamate these ideas with the 3D-Ising model, yielding a family of equations of state valid up toμB= 700MeV with the correct critical behavior. Our equations of state feature tunable parameters, providing a stable and causal framework-a crucial tool for hydrodynamics simulations.

    At low to moderate collision energies where the parton formation time τ F is not small compared to the nuclear crossing time, the finite nuclear thickness significantly affects the energy density ϵ( t ) and net conserved-charge densities such as the net-baryon density n B ( t ) produced in heavy ion collisions. As a result, at low to moderate energies the trajectory in the QCD phase diagram is also affected by the finite nuclear thickness. Here, we first discuss our semi-analytical model and its results on ϵ( f ), n R ( t ), n Q ( t ), and n s ( t ) in central Au+Au collisions. We then compare the T ( t ), μ B ( t ), μ Q ( t ), and μ S ( t ) extracted with the ideal gas equation of state (EoS) with quantum statistics to those extracted with a lattice QCD-based EoS. We also compare the T -μ B trajectories with the RHIC chemical freezeout data. Finally, we discuss the effect of transverse flow on the trajectories.

    Abstract Consider $$(X_{i}(t))$$ ( X i ( t ) ) solving a system of N stochastic differential equations interacting through a random matrix $${\mathbf {J}} = (J_{ij})$$ J = ( J ij ) with independent (not necessarily identically distributed) random coefficients. We show that the trajectories of averaged observables of $$(X_i(t))$$ ( X i ( t ) ) , initialized from some $$\mu $$ μ independent of  $${\mathbf {J}}$$ J , are universal, i.e., only depend on the choice of the distribution $$\mathbf {J}$$ J through its first and second moments (assuming e.g., sub-exponential tails). We take a general combinatorial approach to proving universality for dynamical systems with random coefficients, combining a stochastic Taylor expansion with a moment matching-type argument. Concrete settings for which our results imply universality include aging in the spherical SK spin glass, and Langevin dynamics and gradient flows for symmetric and asymmetric Hopfield networks.

    By using gravity/gauge correspondence, we construct a holographic model, constrained to mimic the lattice QCD equation of state at zero density, to investigate the temperature and baryon chemical potential dependence of the equation of state. We also obtained the energy loss of light and heavy partons within the hot and dense plasma represented by the heavy quark drag force, Langevin diffusion coefficients and jet quenching parameter at the critical point and across the first-order transition line predicted by the model.
