Phases of QCD, Polyakov Loop and Quasiparticles
Wolfram Weise, Claudia Ratti, Simon Roessner
QCD thermodynamics is studied using a model which combines Polyakov loop dynamics with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and its restoration (the PNJL model). The input is fixed…

Quark number susceptibilities: lattice QCD versus PNJL model
Claudia Ratti, Simon Roessner, Wolfram Weise
Quark number susceptibilities at finite quark chemical potential are investigated in the framework of the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. A detailed compari…

Stability of strange quark matter: model dependence
W. M. Alberico, C. Ratti
The minimum energy per baryon number of strange quark matter is studied, as a function of the strangeness fraction, in the MIT bag model and in two different versions of the Color…
