The mean transverse momentum of ultracentral heavy-ion collisions: A new probe of hydrodynamics
read the original abstract
We predict that the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons $\langle p_t\rangle$ rises as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity in ultracentral nucleus-nucleus collisions. We explain that this phenomenon has a simple physical origin and represents an unambiguous prediction of the hydrodynamic framework of heavy-ion collisions. We argue that the relative increase of $\langle p_t \rangle$ is proportional to the speed of sound squared $c_s^2$ of the quark-gluon plasma. Based on the value of $c_s^2$ from lattice QCD, we expect $\langle p_t\rangle$ to increase by approximately $18$ MeV between 1\% and 0.001\% centrality in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV.

Extracting the speed of sound of QCD from transverse momentum fluctuations
From ATLAS data on transverse-momentum fluctuations in ultra-central Pb+Pb collisions, the QGP speed of sound is extracted as 0.496 ± 0.008 at 221 ± 13 MeV, matching lattice QCD.

Interaction fingerprints in temperature-fluctuation cumulants from the QCD crossover to nuclear liquid-gas criticality
Temperature-fluctuation cumulants in ideal, excluded-volume, and van der Waals hadron resonance gas track lattice QCD through the crossover, separate along freeze-out at low energy, and trace the nuclear liquid-gas Wi...

The size of the quark-gluon plasma in ultracentral collisions: impact of initial density fluctuations on the average transverse momentum
Volume variation with multiplicity in ultracentral collisions is small when total entropy scales with nuclear mass number, as shown by relating it to initial density fluctuation profiles.

A multi-differential constraint map for quarkonium suppression mechanisms in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions
Multi-differential constraint analysis of Υ(nS) suppression in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions favors an early, globally correlated, topology-sensitive mechanism over local-density or total-multiplicity control.
