We calculate the speed of sound $c_s$ in an ideal gas of resonances whose mass spectrum is assumed to have the Hagedorn form $\rho(m) \sim m^{-a}\exp{bm}$, which leads to singular behavior at the critical temperature $T_c = 1/b$. With $a =…

The speed of sound ($c_s$) is studied to understand the hydrodynamical evolution of the matter created in heavy-ion collisions. The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy-ion collisions evolves from an initial QGP to the hadronic phase…

We study the propagation of a density wave in a magnetically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at finite temperatures. The thermal cloud is in the hydrodynamic regime and the system is therefore described by the two-fluid model. A…

Understanding thermodynamics in liquids at the atomic level is challenging because of strong atomic interactions and lack of symmetry. Recent prior theoretical works have focused on describing heat capacity of liquids in terms of…
Boson droplets (i.e., dense assemblies of bosons at low temperature) are shown to mask a significant amount of single-particle behavior and to manifest collective, droplet-wide excitations. To investigate the balance between single-particle…

We review our study of critical phenomena in superfluid $^4$He confined in nanoporous glasses. $^4$He in nanoporous media is an ideal ground to survey the quantum phase transition of bosons. In the present work, critical phenomena were…
Hydrodynamic description of a fireball produced in high energy heavy ion collisions has been recently supplemented by a very successful study of acoustic perturbation created by the initial state perturbations. We discuss sound produced at…
Bulk superfluid helium supports two sound modes: first sound is an ordinary pressure wave, while second sound is a temperature wave, unique to inviscid superfluid systems. These sound modes do not usually exist independently, but rather…
Speed of sound is one of the thermodynamic properties that can be measured with least uncertainty and is of great interest in developing equations of state. Moreover, accurate models are needed by the H2 industry to design the transport and…
