Momentum distribution of N $^{*}$ in nuclei
N. G. Kelkar🇨🇴
Due to its dominance in the low energy eta-nucleon interaction, the S11 N $^{*}$ (1535) resonance enters as an important ingredient in the analyses of experiments aimed at finding evidence for the existence of eta-mesic nuclei. The static properties of the resonance get modified inside the nucleus and its momentum distribution is used in deciding these properties as well as the kinematics in the analyses. Here we show that given the possibility for the existence of an N $^{*}$ - $^{3}$ He quasibound state, the relative momentum distribution of an N $^{*}$ and $^{3}$ He inside such a $^{4}$ He is narrower than that of neutron- $^{3}$ He in $^{4}$ He. Results for the N $^{*}$ - $^{24}$ Mg system are also presented. The present exploratory work could be useful in motivating searches of exotic N $^{*}$ -nucleus quasibound states as well as in performing analyses of eta meson production data.

Review of the electric dipole moment of light nuclei
Nodoka Yamanaka🇯🇵
In this review, we summarize the theoretical development on the electric dipole moment of light nuclei. We first describe the nucleon level CP violation and its parametrization. We then present the results of calculations of the EDM of light nuclei in the ab initio approach and in the cluster model. The analysis of the effect of several models beyond standard model is presented, together with the prospects for its discovery. The advantage of the electric dipole moment of light nuclei is focused in the point of view of the many-body physics. The evaluations of the nuclear electric dipole moment generated by the $θ$ -term and by the CP phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are also reviewed.

Hydrodynamization in kinetic theory: Transient modes and the gradient expansion
Michal P. Heller🇩🇪 · Aleksi Kurkela🇨🇭 · Michal Spalinski🇵🇱 · Viktor Svensson🇵🇱
We explore the transition to hydrodynamics in a weakly-coupled model of quark-gluon plasma given by kinetic theory in the relaxation time approximation with conformal symmetry. We demonstrate that the gradient expansion in this model has a vanishing radius of convergence due to the presence of a transient (nonhydrodynamic) mode, in a way similar to results obtained earlier in strongly-coupled gauge theories. This suggests that the mechanism by which hydrodynamic behaviour emerges is the same, which we further corroborate by a novel comparison between solutions of different weakly and strongly coupled models. However, in contrast with other known cases, we find that not all the singularities of the analytic continuation of the Borel transform of the gradient expansion correspond to transient excitations of the microscopic system: some of them reflect analytic properties of the kinetic equation when the proper time is continued to complex values.

Extraction of the proton charge radius from experiments
N. G. Kelkar🇨🇴 · T. Mart🇮🇩 · M. Nowakowski🇨🇴
Static properties of hadrons such as their radii and other moments of the electric and magnetic distributions can only be extracted using theoretical methods and not directly measured from experiments. As a result, discrepancies between the extracted values from different precision measurements can exist. The proton charge radius, $r_{p}$ , which is either extracted from electron proton elastic scattering data or from hydrogen atom spectroscopy seems to be no exception. The value $r_{p} = 0.84087 (39)$ fm extracted from muonic hydrogen spectroscopy is about 4% smaller than that obtained from electron proton scattering or standard hydrogen spectroscopy. The resolution of this so called proton radius puzzle has been attempted in many different ways over the past six years. The present article reviews these attempts with a focus on the methods of extracting the radius.

Anisotropic flow measurements in Pb--Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV with ALICE
You Zhou🇩🇰
Anisotropic flow is a sensitive probe of the initial conditions and the transport properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions. In these proceedings, we present the first results of elliptic ( $v_{2}$ ), triangular ( $v_{3}$ ) and quadrangular flow ( $v_{4}$ ) of charged particles in Pb--Pb collisions at $s_{_{NN}} =$ 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. In addition, the comparison of experimental measurements to various theoretical calculations will be discussed. This provides a unique opportunity to test the validity of the hydrodynamic picture and discriminates between various possibilities for the temperature dependence of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of the produced QGP.

Chiral medium produced by parallel electric and magnetic fields
Marco Ruggieri🇨🇳 · Guang Xiong Peng🇨🇳 · Maxim Chernodub🇫🇷
We compute (pseudo)critical temperature, $T_{c}$ , of chiral symmetry restoration for quark matter in the background of parallel electric and magnetic fields. This field configuration leads to the production of a chiral medium on a time scale $τ$ , characterized by a nonvanishing value of the chiral density that equilibrates due to microscopic processes in the thermal bath. We estimate the relaxation time $τ$ to be about $\approx 0.1 - 1$ fm/c around the chiral crossover; then we compute the effect of the fields and of the chiral medium on~ $T_{c}$ . We find $T_{c}$ to be lowered by the external fields in the chiral medium.

Model prediction for temperature dependence of meson pole masses from lattice QCD results on meson screening masses
Masahiro Ishii🇯🇵 · Hiroaki Kouno🇯🇵 · Masanobu Yahiro🇯🇵
We propose a practical effective model by introducing temperature ( $T$ ) dependence to the coupling strengths of four-quark and six-quark Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft interactions in the 2+1 flavor Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The $T$ dependence is determined from LQCD data on the renormalized chiral condensate around the pseudocritical temperature $T_{c}^{χ}$ of chiral crossover and the screening-mass difference between $π$ and $a_{0}$ mesons in $T > 1.1 T_{c}^{χ}$ where only the $U (1)_{A}$ -symmetry breaking survives. The model well reproduces LQCD data on screening masses $M_{ξ}^{scr} (T)$ for both scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, particularly in $T \geq T_{c}^{χ}$ . Using this effective model, we predict meson pole masses $M_{ξ}^{pole} (T)$ for scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. For $η^{'}$ meson, the prediction is consistent with the experimental value at finite $T$ measured in heavy-ion collisions. We point out that the relation $M_{ξ}^{scr} (T) - M_{ξ}^{pole} (T) \approx M_{ξ^{'}}^{scr} (T) - M_{ξ^{'}}^{pole} (T)$ is pretty good when $ξ$ and $ξ^{'}$ are scalar mesons, and show that the relation $M_{ξ}^{scr} (T) / M_{ξ^{'}}^{scr} (T) \approx M_{ξ}^{pole} (T) / M_{ξ^{'}}^{pole} (T)$ is well satisfied within 20% error when $ξ$ and $ξ^{'}$ are pseudoscalar mesons and also when $ξ$ and $ξ^{'}$ are scalar mesons.

Strong Couplings of Three Mesons with Charm(ing) Involvement
Wolfgang Lucha🇦🇹 · Dmitri Melikhov🇦🇹 · Hagop Sazdjian🇫🇷 · Silvano Simula🇮🇹
We determine the strong couplings of three mesons that involve, at least, one $η_{c}$ or $J / ψ$ meson, within the framework of a constituent-quark model by means of relativistic dispersion formulations. For strong couplings of $J / ψ$ mesons to two charmed mesons, our approach leads to predictions roughly twice as large as those arising from QCD sum rules.
