Phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter [PDF]

, 2006
We study the phase transition from nuclear matter to quark matter within the SU(3) quark mean field model and NJL model. The SU(3) quark mean field model is used to give the equation of state for nuclear matter, while the equation of state for color ...

Neutrino Propagation In Color Superconducting Quark Matter [PDF]

, 2000
We calculate the neutrino mean free path in color superconducting quark matter, and employ it to study the cooling of matter via neutrino diffusion in the superconducting phase as compared to a free quark phase.

The Minimal CFL-Nuclear Interface [PDF]

, 2001
At nuclear matter density, electrically neutral strongly interacting matter in weak equilibrium is made of neutrons, protons and electrons. At sufficiently high density, such matter is made of up, down and strange quarks in the color-flavor locked phase,

Unlocking Color and Flavor in Superconducting Strange Quark Matter [PDF]

, 1999
We explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter with massless u and d quarks as a function of the strange quark mass m_s and the chemical potential mu for baryon number.

Effects of density-dependent quark mass on phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter

, 2005
Considering the density dependence of quark mass, we investigate the phase transition between the (unpaired) strange quark matter and the color-flavor-locked matter, which are supposed to be two candidates for the ground state of strongly interacting ...

Neutron matter - Quark matter phase transition and Quark star

, 1993
We consider the neutron matter quark matter phase transition along with possible existence of hybrid quark stars. The equation of state for neutron matter is obtained using a nonperturbative method with pion dressing of the neutron matter and an analysis

On the Transport Properties of a Quark-Hadron Coulomb Lattice in the Cores of Neutron Stars

, 2012
Already more that 40 years ago, it has been suggested that because of the enormous mass densities in the cores of neutron stars, the hadrons in the centers of neutron stars may undergo a phase transition to deconfined quark matter.

Compact stars with sequential QCD phase transitions

, 2017
Compact stars may contain quark matter in their interiors at densities exceeding several times the nuclear saturation density. We explore models of such compact stars where there are two first-order phase transitions: the first from nuclear matter to a ...

Gapless color-flavor locked phase in quark and hybrid stars

, 2005
We study the effects of the gapless color-flavor locked (gCFL) phase on the equation of state of strongly interacting matter in the range of baryonic chemical potential involved in a compact star.

Signals of spinodal hadronization: strangeness trapping

, 2005
If the deconfinement phase transformation of strongly interacting matter is of first-order and the expanding chromodynamic matter created in a high-energy nuclear collision enters the corresponding region of phase coexistence, a spinodal phase separation
