Wilson loops in heavy ion collisions and their calculation in AdS/CFT (2006)
Liu, H, Rajagopal, K, Wiedemann, Urs Achim

Anti–de Sitter/Conformal-Field-Theory Calculation of Screening in a Hot Wind (2006)
Liu, H, Rajagopal, K, Wiedemann, Urs Achim
One of the challenges in relating experimental measurements of the suppression in the number of J/ψ mesons produced in heavy ion collisions to lattice QCD calculations is that whereas the lattice...

The effect of an oscillatory motion of a viscoelastic fluid over an infinite stretching sheet through porous media in the presence of magnetic field with applied suction has been studied. The surface...
The particle size of asphaltene flocculates has been the subject of many recent studies because of its importance in the control of deposition in petroleum production and processing. We measured the...

Direct Observation of Quantum Tunneling and Relaxation in Mn12ac (2001)
Dressel, M., Gorshunov, B., Rajagopal, K., Vongtragool, S., Mukhin, A. A.
The spin relaxation in the molecular magnet \Mn12 is investigated by a novel type of high-frequency magnetic spectroscopy. By reversing the external magnetic field the intensities of the $|\pm 10>\to...
Illuminating Dense Quark Matter (2001)
We imagine shining light on a lump of cold dense quark matter, in the CFL phase and therefore a transparent insulator. We calculate the angles of reflection and refraction, and the intensity of the...
Magnetic fields within color superconducting neutron star cores (1999)
Alford, M., Berges, J., Rajagopal, K.
We discuss the Meissner effect for a color superconductor formed by cold dense quark matter. Though color and ordinary electromagnetism are broken in a color superconductor, there is a linear...
Gapless Color Superconductivity (1999)
Alford, M., Berges, J., Rajagopal, K.
We present the dispersion relations for quasiparticle excitations about the color-flavor locked ground state of QCD at high baryon density. In the presence of condensates which pair light and strange...
Unlocking Color and Flavor in Superconducting Strange Quark Matter (1999)
Alford, M., Berges, J., Rajagopal, K.
We explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter with massless u and d quarks as a function of the strange quark mass m_s and the chemical potential mu for baryon number. Neglecting...

Stephanov, M., Rajagopal, K., Shuryak, E.
The event-by-event fluctuations of suitably chosen observables in heavy ion collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC can tell us about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at freeze-out. By...
Signatures of the Tricritical Point in QCD (1998)
Stephanov, M., Rajagopal, K., Shuryak, E.
Several approaches to QCD with two massless quarks at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential mu suggest the existence of a tricritical point on the boundary of the phase with...
Color-Flavor Locking and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in High Density QCD (1998)
Alford, M., Rajagopal, K., Wilczek, F.
We propose a symmetry breaking scheme for QCD with three massless quarks at high baryon density wherein the color and flavor SU(3)_color times SU(3)_L times SU(3)_R symmetries are broken down to the...

Color Superconductivity and Signs of its Formation (1998)
Alford, M., Rajagopal, K., Wilczek, F.
