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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Thermal Evolution and Light Curves of Young Bare Strange Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The cooling of a young bare strange star is studied numerically by solving the equations of energy conservation and heat transport for both normal and superconducting strange quark matter inside the star.

Cold Quark Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We perform an O(alpha_s^2) perturbative calculation of the equation of state of cold but dense QCD matter with two massless and one massive quark flavor, finding that perturbation theory converges reasonably well for quark chemical potentials above 1 GeV.

Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when

Constituent and current quark masses at low chiral energies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Light constituent quark masses and the corresponding dynamical quark masses are determined by data, the Quark-Level Linear $\sigma$ Model, and infrared QCD.

Strange quark stars: observations and speculations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2009
Two kinds of difficulties have challenged the physics community for many years: (1) knowing nature's building blocks (particle physics) and (2) understanding interacting many-body systems (many-body physics). Both of them exist in the research of quark matter and compact stars.

The Quest for the Quark‐Gluon Plasma From the Perspective of Dynamical Models of Relativistic Heavy‐Ion Collisions

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 7-8, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The physics of heavy‐ion collisions is one of the most exciting and challenging directions of science for the last four decades. On the theoretical side one deals with a non‐abelian field theory, while on the experimental side today's largest accelerators are needed to enable these studies.

Impact of dark matter on strange quark stars described by different quark models

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
Dark matter is hypothesized to interact with ordinary matter solely through gravity and may be present in compact objects such as strange quark stars. We treat strange quark stars admixed with dark matter as two-fluid systems to investigate the potential

Properties of strange quark stars with isovector interactions

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
We study the properties of strange quark stars by employing a 3-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with both scalar-isovector and vector-isovector interactions.
