Polymer translocation: the first two decades and the recent diversification

VV Palyulin, T Ala-Nissila, R Metzler - Soft matter, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
Probably no other field of statistical physics at the borderline of soft matter and biological
physics has caused such a flurry of papers as polymer translocation since the 1994 …

Chiral phase transition in two-flavor QCD from an imaginary chemical potential

C Bonati, P De Forcrand, M D'Elia, O Philipsen… - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We investigate the order of the finite temperature chiral symmetry restoration transition for

Thermal squeezeout of dark matter

P Asadi, ED Kramer, E Kuflik, GW Ridgway, TR Slatyer… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We carry out a detailed study of the confinement phase transition in a dark sector with an SU

QCD phase transitions in the light quark chiral limit

J Bernhardt, CS Fischer - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the order of the QCD chiral transition in the limit of vanishing bare up/down
