Thermodynamics of quark matter with multiquark clusters in an effective Beth-Uhlenbeck type approach
D. Blaschke, M. Cierniak, O. Ivanytskyi +1
We describe multiquark clusters in quark matter within a Beth-Uhlenbeck approach in a background gluon field coupled to the underlying chiral quark dynamics using the Polyakov gaug…
Special point "trains" in the M-R diagram of hybrid stars
David Blaschke, Alexander Ayriyan, Mateusz Cierniak +3
We present a systematic investigation of the possible locations for the special point (SP), a unique feature of hybrid neutron stars in the mass-radius diagram. The study is perfor…
Locating the special point of hybrid neutron stars
Mateusz Cierniak, David Blaschke
The special point is a feature unique to models of hybrid neutron stars. It represents a location on their mass--radius sequences that is insensitive to the phase transition densit…
Hybrid neutron stars in the mass-radius diagram
Mateusz Cierniak, David Blaschke
We present a systematic investigation of the possible locations for the special point (SP), a unique feature of hybrid neutron stars in the mass-radius. The study is performed with…
Chaos in QCD? Gap equations and their fractal properties
T. Klaehn, L. C. Loveridge, M. Cierniak
We discuss how iterative solutions of QCD inspired gap-equations at finite chemical potential show domains of chaotic behavior as well as non-chaotic domains which represent one or…
Vector-Interaction-Enhanced Bag Model
Mateusz Cierniak, Thomas Klähn, Tobias Fischer +1
A commonly applied quark matter model in astrophysics is the thermodynamic bag model (tdBAG). The original MIT bag model approximates the effect of quark confinement, but does not…
Exploring the In-Medium Momentum Dependence of the Dynamical Quark Mass
Mateusz Cierniak, Thomas Klähn
We review the two standard equations of states based on the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the thermodynamic bag (tdBag) model for dense, cold quark matter from a perspective b…
