Quantifying sulfur speciation in magmatic-hydrothermal fluids

URL https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08598.pdf Stage Model Drift Paradigm framing The paradigm could be framed as the thermodynamic framework used for modeling sulfur speciation in magmatic-hydrothermal fluids, specifically the role and properties of the trisulfur radical ion ([S3]-). The contested point is the validity of existing thermodynamic data and the interpretation of Raman spectra, which impacts the understanding

What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?

URL https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.07181.pdf Stage Model Drift Paradigm framing The current paradigm considers the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as a strongly coupled liquid-like state composed of short-lived quasiparticles. This preprint evaluates the existing paradigm using both perturbative and non-perturbative methods including hard-thermal loop perturbation theory, lattice QCD, and the functional renormalization group. Highlights This preprint surveys the current
