In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons is formed within $1$ fm/c of the nuclei's impact. The complex dynamics of the collision before $\approx 1$ fm/c is often described with parametric models,…

A disordered spin model suitable for studying inverse freezing in fragile glass-forming systems is introduced. The model is a microscopic realization of the ``random-first order'' scenario in which the glass transition can be either…
In the framework of a final state interaction model, we show that the so-called radial flow, i.e. the almost linear increase of the inverse slope $T$ with the mass of the produced particle, is already contained in the initial condition --…
