D mesons at finite temperature and density in the PNJL model

D. Blaschke, P. Costa, Yu. L. Kalinovsky

We study D meson resonances in hot, dense quark matter within the NJL model and its Polyakov-loop extension. We show that the mass splitting between D^+ and D^- mesons is moderate,…

What Does Low Energy Physics Tell Us About The Zero Momentum Gluon Propagator

Pedro Costa, O. Oliveira, P. J. Silva

The connection between QCD, a nonlocal Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type model and the Landau gauge gluon propagator is explored. This two point function is parameterized by a functional fo…

Phase diagram and critical properties within an effective model of QCD: the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model coupled to the Polyakov loop

Pedro Costa, M. C. Ruivo, C. A. de Sousa +1

We investigate the phase diagram of the so-called Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at finite temperature and non-zero chemical potential with three quark flavors. Chiral and dec…

How parameters and regularization affect the PNJL model phase diagram and thermodynamic quantities

Pedro Costa, H. Hansen, M. C. Ruivo +1

We explore the phase diagram and the critical behavior of QCD thermodynamic quantities in the context of the so-called Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We show that this improv…

Scalar-pseudoscalar meson spectrum in SU(3) PNJL model

Pedro Costa, M. C. Ruivo, C. A. de Sousa +2

We investigate the modifications of mesonic properties in a hot medium having in mind to use the mesonic modes as a tool to analyze the restoration of chiral and axial symmetries i…

Scalar-pseudoscalar meson behavior and restoration of symmetries in SU(3) PNJL model

Pedro Costa, M. C. Ruivo, C. A. de Sousa +2

The modification of mesonic observables in a hot medium is analyzed as a tool to investigate the restoration of chiral and axial symmetries in the context of the Polyakov-loop exte…
