We present BHAC-QGP, a new numerical code to simulate the evolution of matter created in heavy-ion collisions. BHAC-QGP is based on the Black Hole Accretion Code (BHAC), which has been designed to model astrophysical processes through the solution of the equations of general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Like the mother code, BHAC-QGP uses Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR), which allows for a dynamic adjustment of the resolution in regions of the computational domain where a particularly high accuracy is needed. We here discuss a number of applications of BHAC-QGP to Au-Au collisions at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) energies and show that the code is able to reproduce results of other simulations of these scenarios, but with much higher accuracy.

  1. Relativistic BDNK MHD Evolution in a Boost-Invariant Medium and Its Impact on Dilepton Production

    nucl-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Coupled BDNK MHD evolution in boost-invariant flow enhances cooling and suppresses the low-mass dilepton spectrum via magnetic-thermal feedback.

  2. Soft mode dynamics associated with QCD critical point and color superconductivity -- pseudogap, anomalous dilepton production and electric conductivity

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Soft modes tied to the QCD critical point and color superconductivity create a pseudogap in quark spectra and boost electric conductivity plus dilepton production above the transition temperatures.

  3. Soft mode dynamics associated with QCD critical point and color superconductivity -- pseudogap, anomalous dilepton production and electric conductivity

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Soft modes linked to the QCD critical point and two-flavor color superconductivity in the NJL model produce a pseudogap above Tc and enhance electric conductivity and dilepton rates relevant to heavy-ion collisions.
