New paper out arxiv.org/abs/2307.08734! Our computation elevates the perturbative-QCD pressure of cold quark matter to the O(a_s^3 ln a_s) level in the strong coupling constant a_s, and places it on par with its high-temperature counterpart from 2003! Thx to Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland.

Kvarkkiainespekulaatioissa tutkitaan puristuuko aine neutronitähtien ytimessä niin tiheäksi, että protonit ja neutronit hajoavat kvarkeiksi ja gluoneiksi. Prof. Aleksi Vuorisen ryhmä laski kvarkkiaineen todennäköisyydeksi 88 % Aleksi Vuorinen Yliopisto-lehti 💫☄️helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/mat…

New paper! We calculate diffractive structure functions at next-to-leading order accuracy using light cone perturbation theory, together with the Color Glass Condensate description of the target color field.

Kun neutronitähdet törmäävät, voi hetkeksi syntyä kvarkkiainetta. 🌟 Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, kuinka "tahmaisesti" tuo kvarkkiaine puristuu kokoon ja taas laajenee. University of Helsinki Aleksi Vuorinen Niko Jokela Risto Paatelainen Aleksi Kurkela helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/ava…

Niko Jokela haastattelu Hesarissa, mukana myös Risto Paatelainen 🤩


A new paper is out! 🚀 Check it out here: arxiv.org/abs/2501.17921. Proud to have worked on this with my four PhD students and Aleksi Vuorinen. Huge thanks to Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland for the support!
