Strange hadronic matter in a modified quark-meson coupling model

Strange hadronic matter with nucleons, Λ-hyperons and Ξ-hyperons is studied by using a modified quark-meson coupling (MQMC) model in a mean-field approximation. The density dependence of the effective baryon masses as well as the saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed.     

Finite Volume Effect of Baryons in Strange Hadronic Matter

The finite volume effect of baryons in strange hadronic matter (SHM) is studied within the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. As this effect is concerned, the saturation density of SHM turns lower, and the binding energy per baryon decreases. Its influence to the compression modulus of SHM is also discussed.     

Conditions for confinement and freeze-out

Matter implies the existence of a large-scale connected cluster of a uniform nature. The appearance of such clusters as a function of hadron density is specified by percolation theory. We can therefore formulate the freeze-out of interacting hadronic matter in terms of the percolation of hadronic clusters. The resulting freeze-out condition as a function of temperature and baryo-chemical potential interpolates between resonance gas behavior at low baryon density and repulsive nucleonic matter at low temperature, and it agrees well with the data.Received: 10 September 2003, Published online: 7 November 2003

Nonextensive statistical effects in the quark-gluon plasma formation at relativistic heavy-ion collisions energies

We investigate the relativistic equation of state of hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density in the framework of the non-extensive statistical mechanics, characterized by power-law quantum distributions. We impose the Gibbs conditions on the global conservation of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness number. For the hadronic phase, we study an extended relativistic mean-field theoretical model with the inclusion of strange particles (hyperons and mesons). For the quark sector, we employ an extended MIT-Bag model. In this context we focus on the relevance of non-extensive effects in the presence of strange matter.     

The phase diagram of hadronic matter

We interpret the phase structure of hadronic matter in terms of the basic dynamical and geometrical features of hadrons. Increasing the density of constituents of finite spatial extension, by increasing the temperature T or the baryochemical potential μ, eventually “fills the box” and eliminates the physical vacuum. We determine the corresponding transition as a function of T and μ through percolation theory. At low baryon density, this means a fusion of overlapping mesonic bags to one large bag, while at high baryon density, hard-core repulsion restricts the spatial mobility of baryons. As a consequence, there are two distinct limiting regimes for hadronic matter. We compare our results to those from effective chiral model studies.     

Electromagnetic radiation from hot and dense hadronic matter

The modifications of hadronic masses and decay widths at finite temperature and baryon density are investigated using a phenomenological model of hadronic interactions in the Relativistic Hartree Approximation. We consider an exhaustive set of hadronic reactions and vector meson decays to estimate the photon emission from hot and dense hadronic matter. The reduction in the vector meson masses and decay widths is seen to cause an enhancement in the photon production. It is observed that the effect of p-decay width on photon spectra is negligible. The effects on dilepton production from pion annihilation are also indicated.     

Zero-Density Phase Transition to Quark-Gluon Plasma and the Relativistic Finite Baryon Volume Effect in Hadronic Matter

We examine the role of relativistic finite baryon volume effect in the phase transition between hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma at vanishing baryon density. It is found that the appearance of abnormal state at high temperature may enhance the baryon-antibaryon excitation, which has large influence on the quark-gluon plasma formation. The numerical results show that the occurence of this phase transition depends on how to extrapolate the nucleon-scalar meson coupling constant to the baryonic resonance-scalar meson coupling.     

Asymmetric dark matter from hidden sector baryogenesis

We consider the production of asymmetric dark matter during hidden sector baryogenesis. We consider a particular supersymmetric model where the dark matter candidate has a number density approximately equal to the baryon number density, with a mass of the same scale as the b, c and τ. Both baryon asymmetry and dark matter are created at the same time in this model. We describe collider and direct detection signatures of this model.

Estimation of transport coefficients of dense hadronic and quark matter

In this study, we calculated transport coefficients including the shear viscosity and electrical conductivity relative to the density of dense hadronic and quark matter. By considering the simple massless limit for the quark matter and two different effective models for the hadronic matter, we estimated the transport coefficients of the two phases separately. Accordingly, density profiles of the transport coefficients were depicted in two parts: the phase-space part and the relaxation time part. From calculating the shear viscosity to density ratio, we also explored the nearly perfect fluid domain of the quark and hadronic matter.     

Baryon number projection for an interacting hadron gas

Calculations of hadronic matter usually enforce conservation of the average baryon number density using the grand canonical ensemble. We have performed calculations for an interacting system in the canonical ensemble with fixed baryon numberN _b , as appropriate for a finite fireball of the type produced in ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions. These results are compared with those obtained from calculations in the grand canonical ensemble. For an interacting nucleon gas the two ensembles yield free energies which differ by approximately 5%.     

Effects of Density-Dependent Quark Mass on Phase Diagram of Color-Flavor-Locked Quark Matter

Considering the density dependence of quark mass, we investigate the phase transition between the (unpaired) strange quark matter and the color-flavor-locked matter, which are supposed to be two candidates for the ground state of strongly interacting matter. We find that if the current mass of strange quark ms is small, the strange quark matter remains stable unless the baryon density is very high. If ms is large, the phase transition from the strange quark matter to the color-flavor-locked matter in particular to its gapless phase is found to be different from the results predicted by previous works. A complicated phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter is presented, in which the color-flavor-locked phase region is suppressed for moderate densities.     

Influence of Interactions on Populations for Hyperons in Neutron Stars

The numerical results of the populations for the baryon octet in neutron star matter have been presented by solving a set transcendental equations in the framework of the relativistic mean field approximation. The influence of the hyperon interactions on hyperon populations in neutron star matter is discussed. The results manifest that when the ratio of the hyperon-to-nucleon couplings increases, all hyperons appear towards low baryon density direction.     

Baryon formation and dissociation in dense hadronic and quark matter

We study the formation of baryons as composed of quarks and diquarks in hot and dense hadronic matter in a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL)-type model. We first solve the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the diquark propagator and then use this to solve the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the baryon propagator. We find that stable baryon resonances exist only in the phase of broken chiral symmetry. In the chirally symmetric phase, we do not find a pole in the baryon propagator. In the color-superconducting phase, there is a pole, but it has a large decay width. The diquark does not need to be stable in order to form a stable baryon, a feature typical for so-called Borromean states. Varying the strength of the diquark coupling constant, we also find similarities to the properties of an Efimov state.     

色味连锁夸克物质中的涡旋

夸克物质在不同的温度和重子数密度下表现出丰富的相结构。高密低温情况下,夸克物质的基态是色味连锁相。介绍了金兹堡-朗道理论以及色味连锁夸克物质中的各种涡旋态（特别是准超流涡旋）,并讨论了磁场和自转对准超流涡旋的的影响。由于致密星核心内部有可能形成准超流涡旋,这一结果对致密星体的研究具有现实意义。如果将温度、夸克质量等因素考虑在内,研究夸克物质中涡旋结构的性质将为诸如致密星物理实验等相关的领域提供新的视角。The quark matter exhibits a rich phase structure at different temperatures and baryon number densities. At high baryon density and low temperature, the color-flavor locked phase is believed to be the ground state of the quark matter. We present an introduction to various vortices in the color-flavor locked quark matter, especially for the semi-superfluid vortices, and their research method (Ginzburg-Landau method). The influence of magnetic field and rotation on properties of these vortices is discussed. Due to the possibility of forming a semi-superfluid vortex in the core of the dense star, this result is of practical significance in the study of dense stars. If considering other factors, such as temperature and quark mass, study of the vortex structure properties in the quark matter could provide new perspectives for related fields, for instance dense star physics.
