Quark-gluon cluster -- a composite entity just due to color confinement
arXiv:2003.00155
Abstract
We incorporate confining effects into statistical formulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It implies that quark-gluon clusters existed in the early universe, triggering the information accumulation in nature. The confinement-driven clustering would explain the reason why the quark-gluon plasma in the heavy-ion ollision experiments looks like liquid unlike the QCD expectation.
