The quark-gluon plasma, formed in the first 3 fm/c of the heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, supercooles due to nucleation and develops soon a negative pressure in the bag model. The negative pressure yields mechanical instability which may lead to a sudden timelike deflagration to a (super)heated hadron gas. The resulting freeze-out times are shorter than those of the standard nucleation scenario.

Accessing gluon GTMD $F^g_{1,4}$ via the $\langle\sin(2\phi)\rangle$ azimuthal asymmetry of exclusive $\pi^0$ production in $ep$ collisions
A light-front spectator model yields the first calculation of Im(F^g_{1,4}) and the resulting sin(2φ) asymmetry in ep → epπ⁰ at EIC kinematics.
