Moat regimes in the phase diagram of QCD
Location: 4138 Physics Research Building
Abstract: The phase diagram of QCD in the plane of temperature and nonzero chemical potential can exhibit unusual phenomena. Associated with a critical endpoint is a "moat" regime, where the minimum of the dispersion relation for pions occurs at nonzero spatial momentum. I discuss a characteristic experimental signature of moatons in dilepton production
