Flow in conical shock waves: A signal for the deconfinement transition?

Conical Shock Waves for Isentropic Euler System

Conical shock waves are generated as sharp conical solid projectiles fly supersonically in the air. We study such conical shock waves in steady supersonic flow using isentropic Euler system. The stability of such attached conical shock waves for non-symmetrical conical projectile and non-uniform incoming supersonic flow are established. Meanwhile, the existence of the solution to the Euler syst...

Deconfinement Transition for Quarks on a Line

We examine the statistical mechanics of a 1-dimensional gas of both adjoint and fundamental representation quarks which interact with each other through 1+1-dimensional U (N) gauge fields. Using large-N expansion we show that, when the density of fundamental quarks is small, there is a first order phase transition at a critical temperature and adjoint quark density which can be interpreted as d...

Deconfinement transition in a one–dimensional model

We present a model for quark matter with a density dependent quark– quark (confining) potential, which allows to describe a deconfinement phase transition as the system evolves from a low density assembly of bound structures to a high density free Fermi gas of quarks. A proper account of the many–body correlations induced by the medium is crucial in order to disentangle this behaviour, which do...
