Probing neutron-star matter in the lab: similarities and differences between binary mergers and heavy-ion collisions
read the original abstract
Binary neutron-star mergers and heavy-ion collisions are related through the properties of the hot and dense nuclear matter formed during these extreme events. In particular, low-energy heavy-ion collisions offer exciting prospects to recreate such {extreme} conditions in the laboratory. However, it remains unexplored to what degree those collisions can actually reproduce hot and dense matter formed in binary neutron star mergers. As a way to understand similarities and differences between these systems, we {discuss their geometry and }perform a direct numerical comparison of the thermodynamic conditions probed in both collisions. To enable a direct comparison, we employ a finite-temperature equation of state able to describe the entire high-energy phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics. Putting side by side the evolution of both systems, we find that laboratory heavy-ion collisions at the energy range of $E_{\mathrm{lab}}=0.4 - 0.6\ A$ MeV probe (thermodynamic) states of matter that are very similar to those created in binary neutron-star mergers. These results can inform future low-energy heavy-ion collisions probing this regime.

The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover
Non-parametric EOS construction from crust to pQCD forces a sound-speed peak and softening that realizes a generalized quark-hadron crossover in massive neutron stars.

Dynamical response of twin stars to perturbations
Twin-star configurations on the hadronic branch are dynamically favored over hybrid twins because they tolerate stronger perturbations before migrating, with binding energies serving as a proxy for this preference.

Post-Merger Gravitational-Wave Uncertainties of Binary Neutron Stars under Multi-Messenger EOS Constraints
With current multi-messenger EOS constraints, the post-merger peak frequency f2,mean is determined to ~100 Hz at fixed mass and tidal deformability/radius, tight enough to expose thermal or phase-transition physics.

The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover
Non-parametric EOS construction shows non-conformal behavior with evidence for soft quark matter and a hadron-quark phase transition in massive neutron star cores.

Post-Merger Gravitational-Wave Uncertainties of Binary Neutron Stars under Multi-Messenger EOS Constraints
Multi-messenger constraints shrink the residual uncertainty in post-merger frequency f_{2,mean} to ~100 Hz for fixed mass and compactness, well below the unconstrained range.

Systematic study of flow of protons and light clusters in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions with momentum-dependent potentials
PHQMD simulations with momentum-dependent potentials show that a soft momentum-dependent EoS calibrated to pA data reproduces experimental proton and cluster flows at midrapidity better than static EoS variants, while...
