Asymptotic behavior of the Speed of Sound in Dense Matter
Udita Shukla, Pok Man Lo
We show that a class of NJL-like models fails to reproduce the expected conformal limit of the speed of sound, making them unsuitable for analyzing the equation of state of dense m…

Energy Density Functional of Confined Quarks: an Improved Ansatz
Udita Shukla, Pok Man Lo
Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a robust framework for modeling interacting many-body systems, including the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. Many models, however, rely…
