Status of Quark-Gluon Plasma

I review the current status of the experimental searches for a Quark-Gluon Plasma in heavy ion collisions. The brief introduction covers important results of finite temperature lattice QCD and the intuitive Bjorken picture of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation. Global features of the data, such as transverse energy distributions and the various signatures of QGP such asJ/ϕ-suppression, ψ-enhancement as well as thermal dileptons and photons are then discussed.     

Introduction to Quark-Gluon Plasma

Problems of formation, evolution and detection of quark-gluon plasma are reviewed to fill a gap between theory and experiment.     

Magnetized Quark-Gluon Plasma at the LHC

In QCD, the strengths of the large scale temperature dependent chromomagnetic, B₃, B₈, and usual magnetic, H fields spontaneously generated in quark-gluon plasma after the deconfinement phase transition (DPT), are estimated. The consistent at high temperature effective potential accounting for the oneloop plus daisy diagrams is used. The heavy ion collisions at the LHC and temperatures T not much higher than the phase transition temperature T_d are considered. The critical temperature for the magnetized plasma is found to be T_d (H) ～ 110–120 MeV. This is essentially lower compared to the zero field value T_d (H=0) ～ 160–180 MeV usually discussed in the literature. Due to contribution of quarks, the color magnetic fields act as the sources generating H. The strengths of the fields are B₃(T), B₈(T) ～ 10¹⁸–10¹⁹ G, H(T) ～ 10¹⁶–10¹⁷ G for temperatures T ～ 160–220 MeV. At temperatures T < 110–120 MeV the effective potential minimum value being negative approaches to zero. This is signaling the absence of the background fields and color confinement.     

Ultralight glueballs in Quark-Gluon Plasma

We consider the dynamics of the scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). By using the instanton model for the QCD vacuum we give the arguments that the nonperturbative gluon-gluon interaction is qualitatively different in the confinement and deconfinement phases. Based on this observation it is shown that above T _c the values of the scalar and pseudoscalar glueball masses might be very small. The estimation of the temperature of scale invariance restoration, at which the scalar glueball becomes massless, is given. We also discuss the Bose—Einstein condensation of the glueballs and the superfluidity of the glueball matter in QGP.     

Baryon Ratios in Quark-Gluon Plasma

A way to calculate ratios of baryon produced from quark gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions is presented. It is assumed that at the beginning of the hadronlzation there are diquarks and anti-diquarks in the quark matter. The number of three-quark states is distributed between the corresponding multiplets, and hadronic decays are taken into account. The results are shown at last.

球形夸克-胶子等离子体演化源的π干涉学分析

本文对球形演化的夸克–胶子等离子体膨胀源进行了2π干涉学分析.夸克–胶子等离子体的演化由相对论流体力学和熵密度的物态方程描述,而2πHanbury-Brown-Twiss(HBT)关联函数由量子几率振幅的路径积分公式计算.研究结果表明,由2π干涉学得到的源的空间参量敏感地依赖于π介子发射源的相空间分布,源的膨胀速度导致HBT半径变小,并会改变HBT半径与冻结温度之间的关系.

Q¯ modes in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

We study the evolution of heavy quarkonium states with temperature in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) by evaluating an in-medium Qˉ T-matrix within a reduced Bethe-Salpeter equation in S- and P-wave channels. The interaction kernel is extracted from finite-temperature QCD lattice calculations of the singlet free energy of a Qˉ pair. Quarkonium bound states are found to gradually move across the Qˉ threshold after which they rapidly dissolve in the hot system. We calculate Euclidean-time correlation functions and compare to results from lattice QCD. We also study finite-width effects in the heavy-quark propagators.     

Microscopic model for rapid hadronization of supercooled Quark-Gluon Plasma

A new hadronization scenario is proposed where a central role is played by the chiral symmetry break-down in the expanding Quark-Gluon Plasma. This mechanism becomes efficient after the thermal freeze-out of the quark-antiquark system. The transition from the chiral-symmetric to broken state proceeds through the formation of multi-quark-antiquark clusters which later on split into hadrons. This transition is accompanied by the formation of domains of long-lived coherent pion field (Disoriented Chiral Condensates). This picture can be observed through multi-hadron correlations and enhanced production of lowp _t pions. We estimate time scales and spatial characteristics of chiral-symmetry breaking instabilities on the basis of an effective field-theoretical model.     

Fluctuations of Chromodynamic Fields in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Chromodynamic fluctuations in the collisionless quark-gluon plasma are found as a solution of the initial value linearized problem. The stable and unstable plasmas are discussed.

Off-Shell Propagat ion in a Quark-Gluon Plasma

The off-shell propagation in a quark-gluon plasma is estimated from a quantum transport model beyond the quasi-particle approach. While our ansatz is crude concerning the properties of real quarks and gluons, it nevertheless takes very serious the basic principles of quantum field theory for non-equilibrium states.     

化学非平衡夸克–胶子等离子体中的双轻子产生

研究了正在进行化学平衡的具有有限重子密度的夸克–胶子等离子体系统的演化和双轻子产生.结果发现由于夸克相的寿命随初始夸克化学势的增加而增加,以及其他一些因素,如较高的初始温度、较大的胶子密度和较大的胶子聚变和夸克湮没反应截面,导致热粲夸克对双轻子产生提供了占统治的贡献.这个效应造成中等质量双轻子的重大增强.     

Volume Effect of Bound States in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Bound states, such as qq and q(q), may exist in quark-gluon plasma. As the system is at high density,the volume of the bound states may evoke a reduction in the phase space. We introduce an extended bag model to investigate qualitatively the volume effect on the properties of the system. We find a limit temperature where the bound states start to be completely melted.

Calculation of Dielectric Function of a Quark-Gluon Plasma

With the hard thermal loop （HTL） resummation technique, we calculate the dielectric function excited by hard gluon in quark-gluon plasma （QCP）. We find that in a section of the space-like region po/p ∈ [0.78, 0.95], there are two extremum structures on the dielectric function curve, while the dielectric function in the HTL approximation decreases monotonously without these properties. Through the analyses of the imaginary part of the dielectric function, we conclude that the character of the dielectric function in this region reflects effects of the Landau damping.     

Tetraquarks Production in Quark-Gluon Plasma with Diquarks

We present a way to calculate tetraquarks ratios for quark gluon plasma with diquarks, The ratios of tetraquarks over baryons produced from quark matter are high than hadronic gas model limits. It is a better way to search for four-quark states in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It may become a criterion to judge whether quark-gluon plasma has formed to search for four-quark states in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
