Chiral restoration of strange baryons
Eduardo S. Fraga, Rodrigo da Mata, Savvas Pitsinigkos +1
We review the results of a phenomenological model for cold and dense nuclear matter exhibiting a chiral phase transition. The idea is to model the quark-hadron phase transition und…
Strange quark matter from a baryonic approach
Eduardo S. Fraga, Rodrigo da Mata, Savvas Pitsinigkos +1
We construct a model for dense matter based on low-density nuclear matter properties that exhibits a chiral phase transition and that includes strangeness through hyperonic degrees…
Baryon onset in a magnetic field
Alexander Haber, Florian Preis, Andreas Schmitt
The critical baryon chemical potential for the onset of nuclear matter is a function of the vacuum mass and the binding energy. Both quantities are affected by an external magnetic…
Magnetic catalysis in nuclear matter
Alexander Haber, Florian Preis, Andreas Schmitt
A strong magnetic field enhances the chiral condensate at low temperatures. This so-called magnetic catalysis thus seeks to increase the vacuum mass of nucleons. We employ two rela…
Supercurrents in color-superconducting quark matter
Andreas Schmitt
We review the basic properties of the currCFL-K^0 phase in dense quark matter. At asymptotically large densities, three-flavor quark matter is in the color-flavor locked (CFL) stat…
Bulk viscosity in kaon-condensed color-flavor locked quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Matt Braby, Andreas Schmitt
Color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter at high densities is a color superconductor, which spontaneously breaks baryon number and chiral symmetry. Its low-energy thermodynamic and t…
