• Cold quark matter at N3LO: Soft contributions 

      Gorda, Tyler; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Paatelainen, Risto; Säppi, Saga; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      High-order perturbative calculations for thermodynamic quantities in QCD are complicated by the physics of dynamical screening that affects the soft, long-wavelength modes of the system. Here, we provide details for the ...
    • Discovering Partonic Rescattering in Light Nucleus Collisions 

      Huss, Alexander; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas; Paatelainen, Risto; van der Schee, Wilke; Wiedemann, Urs Achim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)
      We demonstrate that oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC provide unprecedented sensitivity to parton energy loss in a system whose size is comparable to those created in very peripheral heavy-ion collisions. With leading ...
    • Predicting parton energy loss in small collision systems 

      Huss, Alexander; Kurkela, Aleksi; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas; Paatelainen, Risto; van der Schee, Wilke; Wiedemann, Urs Achim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Medium induced parton energy loss is not conclusively established either in very peripheral heavy-ion collisions or in proton-ion collisions. However, the standard interpretation of azimuthal momentum anisotropies in these ...
    • Soft Interactions in Cold Quark Matter 

      Gorda, Tyler; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Paatelainen, Risto; Säppi, Saga; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)
      Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of zero-temperature, high-density quark matter plays an integral role in attempts to constrain the behavior of the dense QCD matter found inside neutron-star cores, ...
    • Soft photon propagation in a hot and dense medium to next-to-leading order 

      Gorda, Tyler; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Österman, Juuso; Paatelainen, Risto; Säppi, Saga; Schicho, Philipp; Seppänen, Kaapo; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We present the first complete calculation of the soft photon self-energy to the next-to-leading order in a hot and/or dense ultrarelativistic plasma in QED. The calculation is performed within the real-time formalism ...
