Quarkyonic Meson Matter for Finite Isospin Density

Larry McLerran

QCD at finite isospin density is considered for a large number of colors . A linear sigma model is used to model the meson content of the theory at low density. At isospin che…

Two Lectures on the Phase Diagram of QCD

Larry McLerran

The phase diagram of QCD at finite temperature and density is discussed. Large numbers of quark colors, , is used to explain generic features of the phase diagram.…

String-based model with Hagedorn temperature of MeV describes the spectrum of mesons and glueballs

Michał Marczenko, Győző Kovács, Larry McLerran +1

We consider the thermodynamics of a color-confined phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and pure gauge theory within a string-inspired model, corresponding to a physical spatial d…

A New State of Matter between the Hadronic Phase and the Quark-Gluon Plasma?

Yuki Fujimoto, Kenji Fukushima, Yoshimasa Hidaka +1

Lattice-QCD simulations and theoretical arguments hint at the existence of an intermediate phase of strongly interacting matter between a confined hadron gas and a deconfined Quark…

Evolution of strangeness and hyperons in quarkyonic matter

Yuki Fujimoto, Toru Kojo, Larry McLerran

We study the evolution of matter composition from nuclear to quark densities in the confining regime, by extending an ideal model of Quarkyonic matter, IdylliQ model, to multi-flav…

Quark saturation in the QCD phase diagram

Marcus Bluhm, Yuki Fujimoto, Larry McLerran +1

We determine the onset of Quarkyonic Matter corresponding to values of temperature and baryon chemical potential at which the quark phase space density becomes one. At zero tempera…

The Quark Pauli Principle and the Transmutation of Nuclear Matter

Larry McLerran, Gerald A. Miller

The phase space density, , of quarks in nuclei is studied using realistic models of unintegrated quark distributions, known as transverse momentum densities (TMDs). If this de…

Might Normal Nuclear Matter be Quarkyonic?

Volker Koch, Larry McLerran, Gerald A. Miller +1

The possibility that nuclear matter might be Quarkyonic is considered. Quarkyonic matter is high baryon density matter that is confined but can be approximately thought of as a fil…

Momentum Shell in Quarkyonic Matter from Explicit Duality: A Dual Model for Cold, Dense QCD

Yuki Fujimoto, Toru Kojo, Larry D. McLerran

We present a model of cold QCD matter that bridges nuclear and quark matter through the duality relation between quarks and baryons. The baryon number and energy densities are expr…
