Title: The Predictive Power of ``Schwinger-Keldysh Effective Field Theory"

Speaker: Prof. Navid Abbasi, Lanzhou University

   Navid Abbasi is a Professor at the School of Nuclear Science and Technology at Lanzhou University (LZU). He earned his Ph.D. in theoretical high-energy physics from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran in 2013. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM) in Tehran. In 2019, Navid joined LZU as a full professor. His research focuses on the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems, and he has published extensively in leading journals, including JHEP, PRL, PRD and PRC.

Abstract: 

    The search for the QCD critical point in heavy ion collisions requires the inclusion of fluctuations in hydrodynamic simulations of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Schwinger-Keldysh Effective Field Theory (SK-EFT) systematically incorporates these fluctuations, extending beyond classical hydrodynamics, which only accounts for dissipation. After a brief review of SK-EFT, we highlight several of its predictions that have been recently confirmed by experiments. Finally, we discuss further SK-EFT predictions that may be observable in future experimental studies.
