eta' multiplicity and Witten-Veneziano relation at T>0
D. Klabučar, S. Benić, D. Horvatić +1
Recent RHIC results on eta' multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions are of great importance because they clearly signal a partial restoration of U_A(1) symmetry at high temperatures T…
Crossover transition to quark matter in heavy hybrid stars
D. E. Alvarez-Castillo, S. Benic, D. Blaschke +1
We study the possibility that the transition from hadron matter to quark matter at vanishing temperatures proceeds via crossover, similar to the crossover behavior found with latti…
Mass-radius constraints for compact stars and a critical endpoint
David Blaschke, David E. Alvarez-Castillo, Sanjin Benic
We present two types of models for hybrid compact stars composed of a quark core and a hadronic mantle with an abrupt first order phase transition at the interface which are in acc…
Finite temperature Mott transition in a nonlocal PNJL model
Sanjin Benic, David Blaschke
We provide a novel calculation of the Mott effect in non-local PNJL models. We find that the "deconfinement" transition temperature in these models is lower than the Mott temperatu…
Medium induced Lorentz symmetry breaking effects in nonlocal PNJL models
S. Benic, D. Blaschke, G. A. Contrera +1
In this paper we detail the thermodynamics of two flavor nonlocal Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models for different parametrizations of the quark interaction regulators. The structu…
Physical interpretation of the dressed Polyakov loop in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model
Sanjin Benić
We investigate the rapid rise of the dressed Polyakov loop in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model as a function of temperature. In QCD such a behaviour is interpreted as a confinem…
