The speed of sound and specific heat in the QCD plasma : hydrodynamics , fluctuations and conformal symmetry Rajiv

چکیده
We report the continuum limits of the speed of sound, Cs, and the specific heat at constant volume, CV , in quenched QCD at temperatures of 2Tc and 3Tc. At these temperatures, Cs is within 2-σ of the ideal gas value, whereas CV differs significantly from the ideal gas. However, both are compatible with results expected in a theory with conformal symmetry. We investigate effective measures of conformal symmetry in the high temperature phase of QCD.

Lattice QCD equation of state : improving the differential method
Abstract. We propose an improvement of the differential method for the computation of the equation of state of QCD from lattice simulations. In contrast to the earlier differential method our technique yields positive pressure for all temperatures including in the transition region. Employing it on temporal lattices of 8, 10 and 12 sites and by extrapolating to zero lattice spacing we obtained ...
متن کاملHydrodynamics of the cascading plasma
The cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et.al realizes a soluble example of gauge/string correspondence in a non-conformal setting. Such a gauge theory has a strong coupling scale Λ, below which it confines with a chiral symmetry breaking. A holographic description of a strongly coupled cascading gauge theory plasma is represented by a black brane solution of type IIB supergravity on a conifold ...
متن کاملPlume outflow intrusion impact on acoustical signal fluctuations in a pre-stratified environment
Existence of outflow intrusion introduces small-scale turbulence that perturbs the vertically stratified character of the sound velocity and causes spatial and temporal fluctuations of the sound propagation. In this experimental study, we have investigated acoustic wave propagation with frequency of 50 kHz in a pre-stratified environment with intrusion of a turbulent plume while the si...
متن کاملSound waves in strongly coupled non-conformal gauge theory plasma
Using gauge theory/gravity duality we study sound wave propagation in strongly coupled non-conformal gauge theory plasma. We compute the speed of sound and the bulk viscosity of N = 2∗ supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills plasma at a temperature much larger than the mass scale of the theory in the limit of large Nc and large ’t Hooft coupling. The speed of sound is computed both from the equation o...
متن کاملA new generalized model for predict speed of sound of refrigerants
In consideration of physical and chemical properties of pure substances, speed of sound is one of important quantity which can used to calculate many of other thermo-physical properties such as isothermal compressibility, Joule-Thomson coefficient, isobaric heat capacity and etc. These thermo-physical properties are the main parameters in industrial and chemical processes. Development of accura...
