In this work we study the interactions of bottom mesons which lead to $Upsilon$ production and absorption in hot hadronic matter. We use effective Lagrangians to calculate the $Upsilon$ production cross section in processes such as $ bar{B}^{(*)} + B^{(*)} to Upsilon + (pi, rho)$ and also the $Upsilon$ absorption cross section in the corresponding inverse processes. We update and extend previous calculations by Lin and Ko, introducing anomalous interactions. The obtained cross sections are used as input to solve the rate equation which allows us to follow the time evolution of the $Upsilon$ multiplicity. In contrast to previous conjectures, our results suggest that the interactions in the hadron gas phase strongly reduce the $Upsilon$ abundance.

The shear viscosity $eta$ in the van der Waals excluded volume hadron-resonance gas model is considered. For the shear viscosity the result of the non-relativistic gas of hard-core particles is extended to the mixture of particles with different masses, but equal values of hard-core radius r. The relativistic corrections to hadron average momenta in thermal equilibrium are also taken into account. The ratio of the viscosity $eta$ to the entropy density s is studied. It monotonously decreases along the chemical freeze-out line in nucleus-nucleus collisions with increasing collision energy. As a function of hard-core radius r, a broad minimum of the ratio $eta/sapprox 0.3$ near $r approx 0.5$ fm is found at high collision energies. For the charge-neutral system at $T=T_c=180$ MeV, a minimum of the ratio $eta/scong 0.24$ is reached for $rcong 0.53$ fm. To justify a hydrodynamic approach to nucleus-nucleus collisions within the hadron phase the restriction from below, $r~ ge ~0.2$ fm, on the hard-core hadron radius should be fulfilled in the excluded volume hadron-resonance gas.
The suppression of high momentum particles in heavy-ion collisions in comparison to elementary reactions is one of the main indications for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma. In recent studies, full jets are being reconstructed and substructure observables are gaining importance in assessing the medium modifications of hard probes. In this work, the effect of the late stage hadronic interactions are explored within the hadronic transport approach SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons). High momentum particles are incorporated in a radially expanding hadron gas to analyse the corresponding angular distributions, also refered to as `jet shape observables. We find that the full hadron gas can be approximated with a pion gas with constant elastic cross-sections of 100 mb. In addition, the temperature and probe energy dependence of diffusion coefficients $tilde{q}$ and $tilde{e}$ quantifying the transverse and parallel momentum transfers are extracted. The species dependence and the importance of different interaction types are investigated. Parametrizations are presented that can be employed in future jet quenching calculations to include the effect of the hadronic phase.
An intense transient magnetic field is produced in high energy heavy-ion collisions mostly due to the spectator protons inside the two colliding nucleus. The magnetic field introduces anisotropy in the medium and hence the isotropic scalar transport coefficients become anisotropic and split into multiple components. Here we calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients shear, bulk viscosity, electrical conductivity, and the thermal diffusion coefficients for a multicomponent Hadron- Resonance-Gas (HRG) model for a non-zero magnetic field by using the Boltzmann transport equation in a relaxation time approximation (RTA). The anisotropic transport coefficient component along the magnetic field remains unaffected by the magnetic field, while perpendicular dissipation is governed by the interplay of the collisional relaxation time and the magnetic time scale, which is inverse of the cyclotron frequency. We calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients as a function of temperature and magnetic field using the HRG model. The neutral hadrons are unaffected by the Lorentz force and do not contribute to the anisotropic transports, we estimate within the HRG model the relative contribution of isotropic and anisotropic transports as a function of magnetic field and temperature. We also give an estimation of these anisotropic transport coefficients for the hadronic gas at finite baryon chemical potential.
We simultaneously incorporate two common extensions of the hadron resonance gas model, namely the addition of extra, unconfirmed resonances to the particle list and the excluded volume repulsive interactions. We emphasize the complementary nature of these two extensions and identify combinations of conserved charge susceptibilities that allow to constrain them separately. In particular, ratios of second-order susceptibilities like $chi_{11}^{BQ}/chi_2^B$ and $chi_{11}^{BS}/chi_2^B$ are sensitive only to the baryon spectrum, while fourth-to-second order ratios like $chi_4^B/chi_2^B$, $chi_{31}^{BS}/chi_{11}^{BS}$, or $chi_{31}^{BQ}/chi_{11}^{BQ}$ are mainly determined by repulsive interactions. Analysis of the available lattice results suggests the presence of both the extra states in the baryon-strangeness sector and the repulsive baryonic interaction, with indications that hyperons have a smaller repulsive core than non-strange baryons. The modified hadron resonance gas model presented here significantly improves the description of lattice QCD susceptibilities at chemical freeze-out and can be used for the analysis of event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions.
We report a new determination of $hat{q}$, the jet transport coefficient of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. We use the JETSCAPE framework, which incorporates a novel multi-stage theoretical approach to in-medium jet evolution and Bayesian inference for parameter extraction. The calculations, based on the MATTER and LBT jet quenching models, are compared to experimental measurements of inclusive hadron suppression in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The correlation of experimental systematic uncertainties is accounted for in the parameter extraction. The functional dependence of $hat{q}$ on jet energy or virtuality and medium temperature is based on a perturbative picture of in-medium scattering, with components reflecting the different regimes of applicability of MATTER and LBT. In the multi-stage approach, the switch between MATTER and LBT is governed by a virtuality scale $Q_0$. Comparison of the posterior model predictions to the RHIC and LHC hadron suppression data shows reasonable agreement, with moderate tension in limited regions of phase space. The distribution of $hat{q}/T^3$ extracted from the posterior distributions exhibits weak dependence on jet momentum and medium temperature $T$, with 90% Credible Region (CR) depending on the specific choice of model configuration. The choice of MATTER+LBT, with switching at virtuality $Q_0$, has 90% CR of $2<hat{q}/T^3<4$ for $p_mathrm{T}^mathrm{jet}>40$ GeV/c. The value of $Q_0$, determined here for the first time, is in the range 2.0-2.7 GeV.
