Aspects of thermal strange quark production: the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the gluonic sector of the three-flavor PNJL model by obtaining the adjoint Polyakov loop and the gluon distribution function in the mean-field approximation. Besides, we explore the thermal strange quark pair-production processes, qq̄ → ss̄ and gg → ss̄, with the aid of the threeflavor PNJL model. The results help us identify the temperature where the gluonic contribution to the production rate becomes dominant, which is an innovative phenomenon compared with the result obtained in free perturbation theory.

Phenomenology of the three-flavour PNJL model and thermal strange quark production
We study the temperature dependence of the adjoint Polyakov loop and its implication for the momentum spectrum of gluons in the mean field approximation. This allows us to calculate the contribution of the thermal (transverse) gluons to the thermodynamic pressure. As an application, we evaluate the rates for the strange quark pair production processes q ¯ q → s¯ s and gg → s¯ s as functions of ...

متن کاملHeavy Quark Chemical Potential as Probe of the Phase Diagram of Nuclear Matter
We study the temperature dependence of the strange and charm quark chemical potentials in the phase diagram of nuclear matter, within a modified and generalized hadron gas model, in order to consider phase transitions and to describe phenomena taking place outside the hadronic phase. We employ, in a phenomenological way, the Polyakov loop and scalar quark condensate order parameters, mass/tempe...
متن کاملChiral transition and deconfinement transition in QCD with the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action
We report preliminary results on the chiral and deconfinement aspects of the QCD transition at finite temperature using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action on lattices with temporal extent of Nτ = 6 and 8. The chiral aspects of the transition are studied in terms of quark condensates and the disconnected chiral susceptibility. We study the deconfinement transition in terms of the ...
متن کامل9 M ar 2 01 6 Hadron production within PHSD ∗
We study the production of hadrons in nucleus-nucleus collisions within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach that is extended to incorporate essentials aspects of chiral symmetry restoration (CSR) in the hadronic sector (via the Schwinger mechanism) on top of the deconfinement phase transition as implemented in PHSD. The essential impact of CSR is found in the Schwinger m...
