Chiral Symmetry Restoration and Deconfinement to Quark Matter in Neutron Stars
arXiv:0910.1312 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2010.02.051
Abstract
We describe an extension of the hadronic SU(3) non-linear sigma model to include quarks. As a result, we obtain an effective model which interpolates between hadronic and quark degrees of freedom. The new parameters and the potential for the Polyakov loop (used as the order parameter for deconfinement) are calibrated in order to fit lattice QCD data and reproduce the QCD phase diagram. Finally, the equation of state provided by the model, combined with gravity through the inclusion of general relativity, is used to make predictions for neutron stars.
