The holographic QCD critical point is sensitive to quark flavors
We study the phase structure of dense QCD matter by applying the flavor-dependent holographic V-QCD model to two distinct physical environments: charge-neutral, beta-equilibrated matter, and strangeness-neutral matter with a fixed charge-to-baryon number ratio, n_Q/n_B = 0.4, relevant for heavy-ion collisions. The quar...
