Deconfinement and Hot Hadrons in Crays and Quadrics
نویسنده
چکیده
The equation of state of pure QCD, obtained from lattice QCD, is discussed for temperatures ranging from 0.9Tc to 4Tc, as well as results on screening masses, the chiral condensate, and the pion decay constant close to the deconfinement phase transition in the confined phase of QCD. The equation of state differs significantly from that of a free gas. There is little evidence of a temperature dependence in the chiral condensate or the meson properties, but perhaps some for the nucleon screening mass. Above the phase transition one sees non-perturbative effects, even though hadron correlators show the existence of deconfined quarks.

Heavy Quark and Quarkonium Transport in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
The strong interaction between heavy quarks and the quark gluon plasma makes the open and hidden charm hadrons be sensitive probes of the deconfinement phase transition in high energy nuclear collisions. Both the cold and hot nuclear matter effects change with the colliding energy and significantly influence the heavy quark and charmonium yield and their transverse momentum distributions. The r...
متن کاملPion Dissociation in Hot Quark Medium
Pion dissociation in a medium of hot quark matter is studied. The decay width of pion is found to be large but finite at temperatures much higher than the so called critical temperature of chiral or deconfinement transition. Consequently, pions should coexist with quarks and gluons at such high temperatures. The result is in agreement with the lattice calculations. The implication of the above ...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Hadrons in Statistical Hadronization of Strangeness-rich QGP
We study b, c quark hadronization from QGP. We obtain the yields of charm and bottom flavored hadrons within the statistical hadronization model. The important novel feature of this study is that we take into account the high strangeness and entropy content of QGP, conserving strangeness and entropy yields at hadronization.

متن کاملDeconfinement Phase Transition in Hot and Dense Qcd at Large N
We conjecture that the confinement-deconfinement phase transition in QCD at large number of colors N and N f ≪ N at T = 0 and µ = 0 is triggered by the drastic change in θ behavior. The conjecture is motivated by the holographic model of QCD where confinement-deconfinement phase transition indeed happens precisely at T = Tc where θ dependence experiences a sudden change in behavior. The conject...
متن کاملStudy of Spectral Modification of Hadrons through Electromagnetic Probes
A fundamental property of QCD with two light quark flavours is the approximate chiral symmetry which plays a very important role in the understanding of low energy hadron physics. Since this symmetry is not manifest in the observed particle degeneracies it is believed that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken by the vacuum. Under conditions of high temperature or density one expects that the...
