0 Strange quark matter : mapping QCD lattice results to finite baryon density by a quasi - particle model †
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quasi-particle model is presented which describes QCD lattice results for the 0, 2 and 4 quark-flavor equation of state. The results are mapped to finite baryo-chemical potentials. As an application of the model we make a prediction of deconfined matter with appropriate inclusion of strange quarks and consider pure quark stars.

High-density QCD: the effects of strangeness
I discuss the zero temperature phase diagram of QCD, as a function of baryon density and strange quark mass. The noteworthy points are that at sufficiently high density chiral symmetry is always restored, and at low strange quark mass there need be no phase transition between nuclear matter and quark matter. I comment on the possibility that introducing a strange quark may make it easier to see...

We present a description of the equation of state of strongly interacting matter within a quasi-particle model. The model is adjusted to lattice QCD data near the deconfinement temperature T 0. We compare in detail the excess pressure and its expansion coefficients available from two-flavor lattice QCD calculations and outline prospects of the extrapolation to large baryon density. Due to the r...

We discuss recent progress made studies of bulk thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter through lattice simulations of QCD with an almost physical light and strange quark mass spectrum. We present results on the QCD equation of state at vanishing and non-vanishing quark chemical potential and show first results on baryon number and strangeness fluctuations, which might be measured in even...
متن کاملCosmological and astrophysical aspects of finite-density QCD
In the early universe, at high temperatures and almost vanishing chemical potential, we expect from asymptotic freedom that quarks and gluons are deconfined in a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). As the universe cools by expansion, a transition to the confined phase, a hadron gas (HG), occurs at T⋆ ∼ ΛQCD. Lattice QCD at vanishing chemical potential provides important insight into the nature of the cos...
متن کاملQuasi-particle model of strongly interacting matter
The successful quasi-particle model is compared with recent lattice data of the coefficients in the Taylor series expansion of the excess pressure at finite temperature and baryon density. A chain of approximations, starting from QCD to arrive at the model expressions for the entropy density, is presented.
