Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
read the original abstract
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at large densities, in and out of equilibrium. The US nuclear community has an opportunity to capitalize on advances in astrophysical observations and nuclear experiments and engage in an interdisciplinary effort in the theory of dense baryonic matter that connects low- and high-energy nuclear physics, astrophysics, gravitational waves physics, and data science

A New Scaling of Neutron Star Tidal Deformability for Directly Probing the Core Equation of State
A perturbative analysis yields an EOS-insensitive scaling relation between tidal deformability Λ and central EOS parameter X = P_c/ε_c that enables direct inference of neutron-star core properties from inspiral GW obs...

Symmetry Energy Expansion with Strange Dense Matter
A redefinition of the symmetry energy expansion that incorporates finite strangeness consistent with SU(3) flavor symmetry and remains valid beyond typical neutron-star central densities.

Relativistic Barnett effect and Curie law in a rigidly rotating free Fermi gas
In a rigidly rotating free Fermi gas, the relativistic Barnett effect produces different Fermi energies for spin-up and spin-down fermions, leading to a moment of inertia that scales as 1/T at high temperature, analog...

Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine
The MUSES Calliope engine computes multi-dimensional QCD equations of state, merges them consistently, and feeds them into viscous hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions with movable critical points and crit...
