Cosmic Trajectories calculation with state of the art lattice QCD equation of state
Lorenzo Formaggio, Francesco Di Clemente, Geetika Yadav +2
We compute the full cosmic trajectories of the early Universe across the QCD phase diagram as the plasma cools from MeV to MeV, assuming -equilibrated matter…
Description of the first order phase transition region of an equation of state for QCD with a critical point
Jamie M. Karthein, Volker Koch, Claudia Ratti
We map the mean-field Ising model equation of state onto the QCD phase diagram, and reconstruct the full coexistence region in the case of a first order phase transition. Beyond th…
Strange quark matter as dark matter: 40 years later, a reappraisal
Francesco Di Clemente, Marco Casolino, Alessandro Drago +2
Forty years ago Witten suggested that dark matter could be composed of macroscopic clusters of strange quark matter. This idea was very popular for several years, but it dropped ou…
Freeze-out parameters from electric charge and baryon number fluctuations: is there consistency?
S. Borsanyi, Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz +3
Recent results for moments of multiplicity distributions of net-protons and net-electric charge from the STAR collaboration are compared to lattice QCD results for higher order flu…
Polyakov Loop and Gluon Quasiparticles in Yang-Mills Thermodynamics
M. Ruggieri, P. Alba, P. Castorina +3
We study the interpretation of Lattice data about the thermodynamics of the deconfinement phase of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, in terms of gluon quasiparticles propagating in a backgr…
Thermodynamics of two-colour QCD and the Nambu Jona-Lasinio model
C. Ratti, W. Weise
We investigate two-flavour and two-colour QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential in comparison with a corresponding Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model. By minimizing the thermo…
The NJL model and strange quark matter
C. Ratti
The stability of strange quark matter is studied within the Nambu Jona-Lasinio model with three different parameter sets. The model Lagrangian contains 4-fermion (with and without…
Stability of strange quark matter: MIT bag versus Color Dielectric Model
W. M. Alberico, A. Drago, C. Ratti
We discuss the properties of strange matter, in particular the minimum of the energy per baryon number as a function of the strangeness fraction. We utilize both the MIT bag model…
