Interface Tension and Interface Entropy in 2+1 Flavour Nambu-Jona-Lasino Model

Abstract

We study the QCD phases and their transitions in 2+1 flavour NJL model, with focus on the interface effects such as the interface tension, the interface entropy and critical bubble size in the coexistence region of the first order phase transitions. Our results show that, under the thin-wall approximation, interface contribution to total entropy density changes its discontinuity scale in the first order phase transition. However, the entropy density of dynamical chiral symmetry (DCS) phase is always greater than that of the dynamical chiral symmetry broken (DCSB) phase in both heating and hadronization processes. To address this entropy puzzle, the thin-wall approximation is evaluated in the present work. We find that the puzzle can be attributed to a drastic overestimate of the critical bubble size at low temperature in the hadronization process. With an improvement on the thin-wall approximation, the entropy puzzle is well solved with the total entropy density of the hadron-DCSB phase exceeding apparently that of the DCS-quark phase at low temperature.
