Flavoring the Quark-Gluon Plasma with Charm
read the original abstract
We demonstrate that a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) with a dilute admixture of heavy quarks has, in general, a lower speed of sound than a "pure" QGP without effects from heavy flavors. The change in the speed of sound is sensitive to the details of the theory, making the hydrodynamic response to "flavoring" a sensitive probe of the underlying microscopic dynamics. We suggest that this effect may be measured in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions by relating the event-by-event number of charm quarks to flow observables such as the average transverse momentum.

Digit anomalies in the hadronic mass spectrum, classical and quantum information entropies, and the dynamical QCD scale
The first digits of PDG hadron masses deviate strongly from Benford's law, and the paper reads the resulting Shannon-entropy deficit as a signature of Lambda_QCD.
