Effective chiral hadron lagrangian with anomalies and skyrme terms from quark flavour dynamics

By bosonization of an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type of quark model with explicit breaking of chiral U(n) × U(n) symmetry we derive a effective low-energy lagrangian of composite scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector mesons. This lagrangian contains the gauged Wess-Zumino term as well as higher order derivative terms of the Skyrme type, the coefficients of which agree with recent phenomenological estimates. In particular, the value predicted for the strength of the standard fourth-order Skyrme term is in satisfactory agreement with the results obtained by fitting the nucleon and delta masses. Our effective chiral lagrangian reproduces the wealth of the results of successful phenomenological lagrangians as, e.g. soft-pion theorems, Goldberger-Treiman relations, PCAC, the KSFR relation, the (approximate) Weinberg relation, etc. Moreover, the predicted mass spectra and decay constants of composite mesons are in qualitative agreement with the experimental findings. Furthermore, when electroweak interactions are included the lagrangian contains vector (axial-vector) dominance based on field-current identities.

Properties of quark matter governed by quantum chromodynamics (II). Renormalization schemes in quark matter

Renormalization schemes are examined (in the Coulomb gauge) for quantum chromodynamics in the presence of quark matter. We demand that the effective coupling constant for all schemes become congruent with the vacuum QCD running coupling constant as the matter chemical potential, μ, goes to zero. Also, to enable us to standardize with the vacuum QCD running coupling constant at some asymptotic momentum transfer, $\text{|}\text{p}{}_0\text{|,}\text{we keep}\text{μ ? ¦}\text{p}{}_0\text{¦}$, to ensure that the matter contribution is negligible at this point. This means all schemes merge with vacuum QCD at $\text{|}\text{p}{}_0\text{|}$ and beyond. Two renormalization group invariants are shown to emerge: (i) the effective or invariant charge, g_inv², which is, however, scheme dependent and (ii) g²(M)/S(M), where S(M)^?1 is the Coulomb propagator, which is scheme independent. The only scheme in which g_inv² is scheme independent and identical to g²(M)/S(M) is the screened charged scheme (previous paper) characterised by the normalization of the entire Green function, S^?1, to unity. We conclude that this is the scheme to be used if one wants to identify with the experimental effective coupling in perturbation theory. However, if we do not restrict to perturbation theory all schemes should be allowed. Although we discuss matter QCD in the Coulomb gauge, the above considerations are quite general to gauge theories in the presence of matter.     

Strange quark matter with dynamically generated quark masses

Bulk properties of strange quark matter (SQM) are investigated within the SU(3) Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. In the chiral limit the model behaves very similarly to the MIT bag model which is often used to describe SQM. However, when we introduce realistic current quark masses, the strange quark becomes strongly disfavored, because of its large dynamical mass. We conclude that SQM is not absolutely stable.     

Light neutron-rich nuclei studied with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics

Structure study of neutron-rich isotopes of Li, Be, B, and C with the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) is reported. Good reproduction of various observed data by AMD is demonstrated. AMD wave functions which reproduce data well show large change of structure when neutron number increases. Clustering structure is predicted around neutron driplines of Be and B, while large oblate deformation with neutron skin is predicted around neutron dripline of C.

Properties of color-flavor locked strange quark matter and strange stars in a new quark mass scaling

Considering the effect of one-gluon-exchange interaction between quarks,the color-flavor locked strange quark matter and strange stars are investigated in a new quark mass density-dependent model.It is found that the color-flavor locked strange quark matter can be more stable if the one-gluon-exchange effect is included.The lower density behavior of the sound velocity in this model is different from the previous results.Moreover,the new equation of state leads to a heavier acceptable maximum mass,supporting the recent observation of a compact star mass as large as about 2 times the solar mass.     

Viscosity of hadron matter within relativistic mean-field-based model with scaled hadron masses and couplings

The shear (η) and bulk (ζ) viscosities are calculated in a quasiparticle relaxation-time approximation for a hadron matter described within the relativistic mean-field-based model with scaled hadron masses and couplings. Comparison with results of other models is presented. We demonstrate that a small value of the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio required for explaining a large elliptic flow observed at RHIC may be reached in the hadron phase. Relatively large values of the bulk viscosity are noted in the case of a baryon-enriched matter.     

Properties of quark matter in a new quasiparticle model with QCD running coupling

The running of the QCD coupling in the effective mass causes thermodynamic inconsistency problem in the conventional quasiparticle model. We provide a novel treatment which removes the inconsistency by an effective bag constant. The chemical potential dependence of the renormalization subtraction point is constrained by the Cauchy condition in the chemical potential space. The stability and microscopic properties of strange quark matter are then studied within the completely self-consistent quasiparticle model, and the obtained equation of state of quark matter is applied to the investigation of strange stars. It is found that our improved model can describe well compact stars with mass about two times the solar mass, which indicates that such massive compact stars could be strange stars.

Faces of quark matter

Based on an analysis in the framework of a coalescence hadronization model (ALCOR) we conclude that in heavy ion collisions at CERN SPS and RHIC energies a new type of matter, the massive quark-antiquark matter is produced.     

Thermal dileptons from quark and hadron phases of an expanding fireball

A fireball model with time evolution based on transport calculations is used to examine the dilepton emission rate of an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision. A transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma at a critical temperature T _C between 130-170 MeV is assumed. We also consider a possible mixed phase scenario. We include thermal corrections to the hadronic spectra below T _C and use perturbation theory above T _C. The sensitivity of the spectra with respect to the freeze-out temperature, the initial fireball temperature and the critical temperature is investigated.
