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.…
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…
String-based model with Hagedorn temperature of MeV describes the spectrum of mesons and glueballs
MichaÅ Marczenko, GyÅzÅ 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…
