Strange quark dynamics on hot dense matter under the extreme condition

Production and properties of φ-meson under the extreme hot dense matter which is formed in Au + Au collisions at RHIC energy have been briefly reviewed.The issues are focused on transverse momentum (p T ) spectra of φ,elliptic flow of φ,nuclear modification factor of φ,the ratio of Ω(p T )/φ(p T ) versus p T,the ratio of Ω(p T /3)/φ(p T /2) versus p T /n q,spin alignment of φ and the enhancement of φ etc.These observables give the significant information of the strange quark dynamics in hot dense matter under the extreme condition.     

Search for Exotic Strange Dibaryon in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

The exotic strange dibaryon particle (ΩΩ)0 with S = -6 can be produced in relativistic heavyioncollisions. The yields of this kind of exotic strange dibaryon particles can increase significantly soon as the formation ofQGP does exhibit after the collision. If there is no phase transition after the collision, the upper bound of the productionof this diomega can be estimated from the free hadronic gas model for nuclear matter. The relative yield ratio of diomegato deuteron is less than 0.000205, this means that if there is no QGP creation it is difficult to observe the production ofdiomega in relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Magnetized quark and strange quark matter in the spherical symmetric space–time admitting conformal motion

In this paper, we have examined magnetized quark and strange quark matter in the spherical symmetric space–time admitting one-parameter group of conformal motions. For this purpose, we have solved Einstein’s field equations for spherical symmetric space–time via conformal motions. Also, we have discussed the features of the obtained solutions.     

Bose-Einstein condensation in dense quark matter

We consider the problem of Bose condensation of charged pions in QCD at finite isospin chemical potential μ_I using the O(4)-symmetric linear sigma model as an effective field theory for two-flavor QCD. Using the 2PI 1/N-expansion, we determine the quasiparticle masses as well as the pion and chiral condensates as a function of the temperature and isospin chemical potential in the chiral limit and at the physical point. The calculations show that there is a competition between the condensates. At T=0, Bose condensation takes place for chemical potentials larger than μ_π. In the chiral limit, the chiral condensate vanishes for any finite value of μ_I.     

Pseudoscalar neutral mesons in hot and dense matter

The behavior of neutral pseudoscalar mesons π⁰,η and η′ in hot and dense matter is investigated, in the framework of the three flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. Three different scenarios are considered: zero density and finite temperature, zero temperature and finite density in a flavor asymmetric medium with and without strange valence quarks, and finite temperature and density. The behavior of mesons is analyzed in connection with possible signatures of restoration of symmetries. In the high density region and at zero temperature it is found that the mass of the η′ increases, the deviation from the mass of the η being more pronounced in matter without strange valence quarks.     

Strange quark star and the parameter space of the quasi-particle model

The properties of strange quark stars are studied within the quasi-particle model. Taking into account chemical equilibrium and charge neutrality, the equation of state(EOS) of(2+ 1)-flavor quark matter is obtained. We illustrate the parameter spaces with constraints from two aspects: one is based on the astronomical results of PSR J0740+ 6620 and GW 170 817,and the other is based on the constraints proposed from the theoretical study of a compact star that the EOS must ensure the tidal deformability Λ_(1.4)=190_(-120)~(+390) and support a maximum mass above 1.97M_⊙. It is found that neither type of constraints can restrict the parameter space of the quasi-particle model in a reliable region and thus we conclude that the low mass compact star cannot be a strange quark star.     

Phase structures of neutral dense quark matter and applicationto strange stars

In the contact interaction model,the quark propagator has only one solution,namely,the chiral symmetry breaking solution,at vanishing temperature and density in the case of physical quark mass.We generalize the condensate feedback onto the coupling strength from the 2 flavor case to the 2+1 flavor case,and find the Wigner solution appears in some regions,which enables us to tackle chiral phase transition as two-phase coexistences.At finite chemical potential,we analyze the chiral phase transition in the conditions of electric charge neutrality andβequilibrium.The four chemical potentials,μ_u,μ_d,μ_s and He,are constrained by three conditions,so that one inde-pendent variable remains:we choose the average quark chemical potential as the free variable.All quark masses and number densities suffer discontinuities at the phase transition point.The strange quarks appear after the phase trans-ition since the system needg more energy to produce a d.-quark than an s-quark.Taking the EOS as an input,the TOV equations are solved numerically,and we show that the mass--radius relation is sensitive to the EOS.The max-imum mass of strange quark stars is not susceptible to the parameter Aq we introduced.     

Strange axial-vector mesons mixing angle

The masses of K ₁(³ P ₁) and K ₁(¹ P ₁) are considered in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model, and the absolute value of the K ₁(³ P ₁)- K ₁(¹ P ₁) mixing angle is determined to be about 59.29^°. The comparison of the theoretical predictions on the strong decay widths of K ₁(1270) and K ₁(1400) in the ³ P ₀ decay model as well as the production ratio of these two states in the τ decay between the available experimental data strongly favors that the K ₁(³ P ₁)- K ₁(¹ P ₁) mixing angle is about +59.29^°.     

Photons from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter

The productions of real photons from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter formed after the nucleus-nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energies are discussed. The effects of the spectral shift of the hadrons at finite temperature on the production of photons are investigated. On the basis of the present analysis it is shown that the photon spectra measured by WA98 collaboration in Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies can be explained by both QGP as well as hadronic initial states if the spectral shift of hadrons at finite temperature is taken into account. Several other works on the analysis of WA98 photon data have also been briefly discussed.

Determining the strange and antistrange quark distributions of the nucleon

The difference between the strange and antistrange quark distributions,δs(x) = s(x) ˉs(x),and the combination of light quark sea and strange quark sea,Δ(x) =ˉ d(x) + uˉ(x) s(x) ˉs(x),are originated from non-perturbative processes and can be calculated using non-perturbative models of the nucleon.We report calculations of δs(x) and Δ(x) using the meson cloud model.Combining our calculations of Δ(x) with relatively well known light antiquark distributions obtained from global analysis of available experimental data,we estimate the total strange sea distributions of the nucleon.

Equation of state in hybrid stars and the stability window of quark matter

Properties of hybrid stars with a mixed phase composed of asymmetric nuclear matter and strange quark matter are studied. The quark phase is investigated by the quark quasiparticle model with a self-consistent thermodynamic and statistical treatment. We present the stability windows of the strange quark matter with respect to the interaction coupling constant versus the bag constant. We find that the appearance of the quark–hadron mixed phases is associated with the meta-stable or unstable regions of the pure quark matter parameters. The mass–radius relation of the hybrid star is dominated by the equation of state of quark matter rather than nuclear matter. The contour plots of the maximum mass of the hybrid star are shown in the plane of the coupling constant and the bag constant.

Magnetized strange quark matter solutions in f(R,T) gravity with cosmological constant

In this research, we have studied magnetized strange quark matter (SQM) solutions for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in f(R, T) gravity. To obtain exact solutions of modified field equations we have used $f(R,T)=R+2f\left(T\right)$ and $f(R,T)=f_1\left(R\right)+f_2\left(T\right)$ models given by Harko et al. (Harko et al. in Phys. Rev. D 84:024020, 2011) and $f(R,T)=R+f_3\left(T\right)$ model (here f₃ is an arbitrary function) with cosmological constant Λ. For t → ∞ we obtain $p=?\rho$ dark energy situation with small constant values of cosmological constant in three different f(R, T) gravitation models. In our solutions magnetic field does not observe also we have transformed our solutions from FRW universe to Static Einstein Universe (SEU) and we get f(R, T) gravity results for SEU universe. Finally we discussed our physical solutions.

Latest results on the hot dense partonic matter at RHIC

At the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) collisions of heavy ions at nucleon-nucleon energies of 200GeV appear to have created a new form of matter thought to be a deconfined state of the partons that ordinarily are bound in nucleons. We discuss the evidence that a thermalized partonic medium, usually called a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), has been produced. Then, we discuss the effect of this high-density medium on the production of jets and their pair correlations. Next, we look at direct photons as a clean electro-magnetic probe to constrain the initial hard scatterings. Finally, we review the developing picture for the effect of this medium on the production of open heavy quarks and on the screening by the QGP of heavy-quark bound states.
