Thermal Hadronization, Hawking-Unruh Radiation and Event Horizon in QCD
P. Castorina
Because of colour confinement, the physical vacuum forms an event horizon for quarks and gluons; this can be crossed only by quantum tunneling, i.e., through the QCD counterpart of…
Spontaneous breaking of translational invariance in non-commutative lambda phi^4 theory in two dimensions
Paolo Castorina, Dario Zappalà
The spontaneous breaking of of translational invariance in non-commutative self-interacting scalar field theory in two dimensions is investigated by effective action techniques. Th…
An alternative heavy Higgs mass limit
P. Castorina, M. Consoli, D. Zappalá
After commenting on the present value of the Higgs particle mass from radiative corrections, we explore the phenomenological implications of an alternative, non-perturbative renorm…
Thermal Hadronization and Hawking-Unruh Radiation in QCD
P. Castorina, D. Kharzeev, H. Satz
We conjecture that because of color confinement, the physical vacuum forms an event horizon for quarks and gluons which can be crossed only by quantum tunneling, i.e., through the…
Inhomogeneous phase of a Gluon Plasma at finite temperature and density
Paolo Castorina, Dario Zappala'
By considering the non-perturbative effects associated with the fundamental modular region, a new phase of a Gluon Plasma at finite density is proposed. It corresponds to the trans…
Effective degrees of freedom and gluon condensation in the high temperature deconfined phase
Paolo Castorina, Massimo Mannarelli
The Equation of State and the properties of matter in the high temperature deconfined phase are analyzed by a quasiparticle approach for . In order to fix the parameter…
