Quark matter with an anisotropic momentum distribution

Abstract

Motivated by the anisotropic momentum distribution of particles in heavy-ion collisions, we study the angular dependence of quark average momentum and quark distribution function in the Polyakov-Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) quark model. We also investigate the phase transitions and net baryon number fluctuations in anisotropic quark matter. The numerical results suggest that the QCD phase structure and isentropic trajectories are sensitive to the anisotropic parameter at finite density, in particular, in the area near the critical region and the first-order phase transition. Compared with the isotropic quark matter, the values of baryon number kurtosis and skewness at lower collision energies are possibly enhanced with the anisotropic momentum distribution squeezed along the direction of nucleus-nucleus collision in experiments.
