Abstract

We investigate the properties of $\rho$, $\psi$, and $\Upsilon$ mesons within a holographic AdS/QCD framework, capturing both their vacuum phenomenology and in-medium dynamics. By reconstructing flavor-specific gauge kinetic functions within a model originally developed to study thermodynamic functions, we compute the vector-meson mass spectrum, the decay constants and the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon at zero temperature. Furthermore, we evaluate the thermal spectral functions to analyze mass shifts, resonance broadening, and the melting of vector bound states in a hot and dense medium. Finally, using the Kubo formula, we extract the electrical conductivity of the plasma as a function of temperature and chemical potential.

Spin alignment of vector mesons in a plasma at finite density

We study the spectral functions and spin alignment of $J/\psi$ and $\phi$ mesons at finite density in a soft-wall holographic model. The quark-gluon plasma background is described by a charged black hole geometry, and the vector mesons are treated as probe bulk vector fields. The present analysis extends the zero-densi...

Multi-scattering processes and spectral properties of low-energy QCD

We compute quark and meson spectral functions in low-energy QCD, including all-order scatterings and decays of pions and the scalar $\sigma$-mode. For low energies the gluons decouple and the dynamics of two-flavour QCD is well-described by a Quark-Meson model. The computations are performed directly in Minkowski space...

Electromagnetic tails of $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes

We investigate electromagnetic corrections to the $B$-meson decay constant and light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) within the framework of heavy-quark effective theory. The inclusion of QED effects extends the support of the LCDAs to negative values of the light-cone momentum. We clarify the relation between thi...

Thermal modifications of the B-meson spectrum

A first-principles investigation of heavy-light meson behaviour in hot QCD matter is essential for the interpretation of experimental results associated with open heavy flavour productions in relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. Using anisotropic lattice ensembles from the FASTSUM collaboration with Nf=2+1 dyn...

Electromagnetic isospin breaking in hadronic vacuum polarization within a VMD model

One of the challenging components of modern lattice-QCD computations of the leading hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $(g-2)_\mu$ is the isospin-breaking correction due to electromagnetism. Dominated by long distances, this correction suffers from severe signal-to-noise issues and finite-volume effe...

Equation of state of dense magnetized QCD matter via a robust analytic continuation

We compute the equation of state of dense and magnetized strongly interacting matter using lattice QCD at a non-zero value of the lattice spacing. Our simulations employ $2+1+1$ dynamical flavors of rooted staggered quarks with masses tuned to the physical point. To conform with experimental constraints, we impose stra...
