We study the pT spectra, particle ratios, and strangeness enhancement factor for (multi-) strange hadrons. The...

Recent studies suggest that the evolution of QCD medium created in heavy ion collisions is sufficiently affected by magnetic field. In this article, we construct a hybrid model to study the effect of magnetic field on QCD medium. This hybrid model consists of widely used ideal hadron gas model with Landau quantization to study the strongly interact...

In nucleus-nucleus collisions, new particles are produced mainly through strong interactions among the constituents of the QCD medium. The search of a unified phenomenological model to understand this production mechanism is one of the main motivation behind the heavy ion experiments. A vast variety of data coming from nucleus-nucleus collision exp...

The CBM experiment at incident beam energies up to 45 AGeV in Au+Au collisions will provide a tool to study the properties of strongly interacting matter at moderate temperatures but high net baryon densities. The main goal of the CBM physics program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities using high-energy nucleu...

The propagation of heavy quarks (HQs) in a medium was quite often modeled by the Fokker-Plank (FP) equation. Since the transport coefficients, related to drag and diffusion processes are the main ingredients in the FP equation, the evolution of HQs is thus effectively controlled by them. At the initial stage of the relativistic heavy ion collisions...

The compressed baryonic matter (CBM) experiment planned at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will provide a major scientific effort for exploring the properties of strongly interacting matter in the high baryon density regime. One of the important goals behind such experiment is to precisely determine the equation of state (EOS) f...

The suppression of heavy quarkonia, e.g., J/ψ, Υ, etc., is considered as a suitable probe to identify the nature of the matter created in heavy ion collisions. Recently we have presented a modified color screening model for J/ψ suppression in the quark gluon plasma (QGP) using a quasiparticle model as the equation of state. In this paper, we extend...

Search for a proper and realistic equation of state (EOS) for strongly interacting matter used in the study of the QCD phase diagram still appears as a challenging problem.

Intensive search for a proper and realistic equations of state (EOS) is still continued for studying the phase diagram existing between quark gluon plasma (QGP) and hadron gas (HG) phases. Lattice calculations provide such EOS for the strongly interacting matter at finite temperature ($T$) and vanishing baryon chemical potential ($\mu_{B}$). These...

A systematic study of charged hadron multiplicities ($n_{ch}$) at various collision energies is very much important in understanding the basic production mechanism of the hadrons in nucleus-nucleus collision experiments. Furthermore, the variations of $n_{ch}$ in nucleus-nucleus collisions with respect to the colliding energy and mass number can pr...

Our aim in this paper is to obtain the variations of freeze-out volume...

A new equation of state for a hot and dense hadron gas (HG) is obtained where the finite hard-core size of baryons has been incorporated in a thermodynamically consistent formulation of excluded volume correction. Our model differs from other existing approaches on the following points. We assign a hard-core volume only to each baryon and mesons th...

Ambiguities regarding the physics and the existence of the critical point (CP) on the QCD phase boundary still exist and the mist regarding the conjectured QCD phase boundary has not yet cleared. In this paper we extend our earlier study where we constructed a deconfining phase boundary using Gibbs' equilibrium conditions after using a quasiparticl...

The physics regarding the existence of the critical end point (CEP) on the QCD phase boundary still remains unclear and its precise location is quite uncertain. In this paper we propose that the hard-core size of the baryons used in the description of the hot and dense hadron gas (HG) plays a decisive role in the existence of CEP. Here we construct...

We use the available two different self-consistent formulations of quasiparticle models and extend their applications for the description of quark gluon plasma (QGP) at non-vanishing baryon chemical potentials. The thermodynamical quantities calculated from these models are compared with the values obtained from lattice simulations and a good agree...

Recent theoretical investigations have unveiled a rich structure in the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram which consists of quark gluon plasma (QGP) and the hadronic phases but also supports the existence of a cross-over transition ending at a critical end point (CEP). We find a too large variation in determination of the coordinates of th...

Location of critical point and mapping the QCD phase boundary still exists as one of the most interesting and studied problems of heavy-ion physics.
