Chiral magnetohydrodynamics for heavy-ion collisions
Abstract The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a macroscopic transport effect resulting from the chiral anomaly. We review the recent progress in theoretical understanding the properties of chiral plasmas, in which the CME and other anomaly-induced...

Quenching of vector boson-tagged jets at the LHC
Abstract Electroweak boson-tagged jet measurements provide a promising experimental channel to accurately study the physics of jet production and propagation in dense QCD medium. In this talk, we present theoretical predictions for the...

Strong deflection lensing by a Lee–Wick black hole
Abstract We study strong deflection gravitational lensing by a Lee–Wick black hole, which is a non-singular black hole generated by a high derivative modification of Einstein–Hilbert action. The strong deflection lensing is expected to produce a set ...

Heavy and light hadron production and D -hadron correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Abstract We establish a linear Boltzmann transport (LBT) model coupled to hydrodynamical background to study hard parton evolution in heavy-ion collisions. Both elastic and inelastic scatterings are included in our calculations; and heavy and light...

On the time-dependent Aharonov–Bohm effect
Abstract The Aharonov–Bohm effect in the background of a time-dependent vector potential is re-examined for both non-relativistic and relativistic cases. Based on the solutions to the Schrodinger and Dirac equations which contain the time-dependent...

Status of nuclear PDFs after the first LHC p–Pb run
Abstract In this talk, I overview the recent progress on the global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nuclear PDFs). After first introducing the contemporary fits, the analysis procedures are quickly recalled and the ambiguities in...

Quarkonium production in A-A and p-A collisions
Abstract Thirty years ago, the suppression of quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions was first proposed as an unambiguous signature for the formation of a Quark-Gluon Plasma. Recent results from the LHC run 2 have led to an unprecedented...

Non-standard interactions of solar neutrinos in dark matter experiments
Abstract We show that non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) can be probed in future direct dark matter detection experiments through both elastic neutrino-electron scattering and coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering. We show NSI can increase the...

Exploring jet substructure with jet shapes in ALICE
Abstract The characterisation of the jet substructure can give insight into the microscopic nature of the modification induced on high-momentum partons by the Quark-Gluon Plasma that is formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This...

Phase transitions in dense matter
Abstract As the density of matter increases, atomic nuclei disintegrate into nucleons and, eventually, the nucleons themselves disintegrate into quarks. The phase transitions (PT's) between these phases can vary from steep first order to smooth...

Integrability and chemical potential in the (3 + 1)-dimensional Skyrme model
Abstract Using a remarkable mapping from the original ( 3 + 1 ) dimensional Skyrme model to the Sine-Gordon ...

Probing non-linearity of higher order anisotropic flow in Pb–Pb collisions
Abstract The second and the third order anisotropic flow, V 2 and V 3, are determined by the corresponding initial spatial anisotropy coefficients, ...

Glueball–baryon interactions in holographic QCD
Abstract Studying the Witten–Sakai–Sugimoto model with type IIA string theory, we find the glueball–baryon interaction is predicted in this model. The glueball is identified as the 11D gravitational waves or graviton described by the M5-brane...

Open beauty production and modifications in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV with CMS
Abstract Beauty production and modifications in heavy-ion collisions are considered to be one of the key measurements to address the flavour-dependence of in-medium energy loss in PbPb collisions at the LHC. The CMS experiment has excellent...

Cornering the revamped BMV model with neutrino oscillation data
Abstract Using the latest global determination of neutrino oscillation parameters from [1] we examine the status of the simplest revamped version of the BMV (Babu–Ma–Valle) model, proposed in [2]. The model predicts a striking correlation between...

Hard processes in small systems
Abstract These proceedings from the Quark Matter 2017 conference give an overview of the latest experimental results on hard processes in small collision systems at RHIC and the LHC, discuss their implications, and consider several prospects for...

Effective Field Theory Models for Thermal QCD
Abstract We present an effective field theory model for QCD at finite temperature with quarks. We discuss the mean field theory, the fixing of parameters, and a prediction for the curvature of the critical line. We proceed to write down a pionic...
