Abstract

The second Hot QCD Matter 2024 conference at IIT Mandi focused on various ongoing topics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, encompassing theoretical and experimental perspectives. This proceedings volume includes 19 contributions that collectively explore diverse aspects of the bulk properties of hot QCD matter. The topics encompass the dynamics of electromagnetic fields, transport properties, hadronic matter, spin hydrodynamics, and the role of conserved charges in high-energy environments. These studies significantly enhance our understanding of the complex dynamics of hot QCD matter, the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy nuclear collisions. Advances in theoretical frameworks, including hydrodynamics, spin dynamics and fluctuation studies, aim to improve theoretical calculations and refine our knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of strongly interacting matter. Experimental efforts, such as those conducted by the ALICE and STAR collaborations, play a vital role in validating these theoretical predictions and deepening our insight into the QCD phase diagram, collectivity in small systems, and the early-stage behavior of strongly interacting matter. In conclusion, combining theoretical models with experimental observations offers a comprehensive understanding of the extreme conditions encountered in relativistic heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions.

Design-informed neutronics assessment of long-lived fission product transmutation in a tokamak fusion reactor blanket

This study presents a neutronics-based assessment of the feasibility and viability of transmuting six major long-lived fission products (LLFPs) from light-water reactors, namely 99 Tc, 129 I, 79 Se, 93 Zr, 126 Sn, and 135 Cs, within the blanket region of a tokamak fusion reactor, using the MIT ARC design as a concrete fusion configuration. Monte Carlo neutronics simulations were performed to evaluate LLFP transmutation and to compare the results with a reference boiling water reactor (BWR). The results indicate that transmutation of all six LLFPs is neutronics-feasible in fusion reactors, with transmutation half-lives significantly shorter than their natural decay half-lives. For elemental targets, transmutation of 135 Cs, 126 Sn, and 93 Zr was found potentially viable, as the net mass transmuted exceeded that achievable in the reference BWR under identical target volume and irradiation time. When isotopically separated targets were considered, transmutation of 126 Sn and 93 Zr appeared potentially viable. A parametric study demonstrated that plasma geometry modifications can enhance local neutron flux, increasing the transmuted 93 Zr mass by approximately 33% and reducing the transmutation half-life from approximately 240 years to 180 years. Repositioning the target and adjusting material layer thickness reduced the transmutation half-life of 93 Zr to 67 years and increased the net mass transmuted by a factor of 50. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that fusion reactors can enable LLFP transmutation beyond the practical limits of thermal fission reactors and highlight the critical role of reactor and blanket design optimization. Engineering and fuel-cycle considerations required for deployment are beyond the scope of this neutronics-focused study.

A hybrid Monte Carlo-deterministic second moment method with efficient variance reduction

In this work, we present a hybrid method that combines Monte Carlo with deterministic finite element methods to solve a linear Boltzmann transport equation. Our hybrid method runs orders of magnitude faster than Monte Carlo, without sacrificing accuracy, for a proxy problem from radiative transfer that contains both optically-thick and optically-thin material. We believe that this is the first demonstration of a hybrid Second Moment Method in more than one spatial dimension, the first to consider more than one material, and the first to use variance reduction. Our variance reduction approach arises from an asymptotic analysis in which we show that the magnitude of the scattering source grows without bound. We transform the problem to compute the deviation of the radiation intensity from isotropy. The magnitude of the source in the transformed problem is bounded, and the quality of the hybrid method solution is dramatically improved by a substantial reduction in the variance.
