Color-charged Quark Matter in Astrophysics?
arXiv:astro-ph/0608272 · doi:10.1088/0256-307X/23/12/023
Abstract
Color confinement is only a supposition, which has not been proved in QCD yet. It is proposed here that macroscopic quark gluon plasma in astrophysics could hardly maintain colorless because of causality. The authors expected that the existence of chromatic strange quark stars as well as chromatic strangelets preserved from the QCD phase transition in the early universe could be unavoidable if their colorless correspondents do exist.
