Relics of the Cosmological QCD Phase Transition
arXiv:hep-ph/9901308 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.61.083509
Abstract
The abundance and size distribution of quark nuggets (QN), formed a few microseconds after the big bang due to first order QCD phase transition in the early universe, has been estimated. It appears that stable QNs could be a viable candidate for cosmological dark matter. The evolution of baryon inhomogeneity due to evaporated (unstable) QNs are also examined.
