Meson molecules in strong magnetic fields: non-monotonic evolution of the charged pion and kaon energies
Toru Kojo
In strong magnetic fields, charged quarks occupy the lowest Landau level, leading to an effective dimensional reduction of hadronic dynamics. This dimensional reduction naturally g…
A quarkyonic matter model
Toru Kojo
Quarkyonic matter is a state of matter in dense QCD whose bulk thermodynamics is dominated by quarks, while low-energy excitations remain confined. This picture leads to a crossove…
Delineating neutral and charged mesons in magnetic fields
Toru Kojo, Sakura Itatani
We investigate the properties of neutral and charged mesons in magnetic fields, from weak-field to strong-field regimes. To develop analytic insights, we employ a non-relativistic…
QCD-Like Theories with Different Color Numbers
Toru Kojo
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with a general number of colors, $\Nc$, provides a powerful theoretical laboratory to explore the dynamics of non-Abelian gauge theories. Although $\Nc…
