2 Droplet Formation in Quark - Gluon Plasma at Low Temperatures and High Densities
نویسنده
چکیده
Considering the low-temperature (T ) and high-baryon-number-density (nB) region of the QCD phase diagram, we present a model for the first-order phase transition between the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the recently proposed colour superconducting phase. We study nucleation of a droplet of the superconducting phase within the metastable QGP gas. Numerical results for the activation energy, radius and other physical parameters of the droplets, at various temperatures, densities and gap parameters, are given. We have estimated the latent heat of the phase transition. In the T − nB plane, we are able to demarcate the region of the superconducting phase. PACS numbers: 12.38.Mh, 12.38.Aw, 26.60.+c, 64.60.Qb

متن کاملWeak-coupling techniques for the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma
We describe some of the recent progress in the calculation of thermodynamic quantities in QCD at high temperatures and densities by weakcoupling techniques and extrapolation to realistic coupling strength. We argue that a (mostly) weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma at temperatures only a few times the transition temperature is not yet ruled out by the observed fast apparent thermalization at RHI...
متن کاملFree Energy of a Hot Gluon Plasma and Hard-thermal-loop Resummation
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions will soon allow the experimental study of hadronic matter at energy densities that will probably exceed that required to create a quark-gluon plasma. A quantitative understanding of the properties of a quark-gluon plasma is essential in order to determine whether it has been created. Because QCD is asymptotically free, the running coupling constant αs becomes s...
متن کاملHow to detect the Quark-Gluon Plasma with Telescopes
The appearance of the QCD phase transition (QPT) at low temperatures and high densities will change the properties of neutron stars (NS). Whether this change will be visible with telescopes and gravitational wave antennas depends strongly on the equation of state (eos) of hadronic and quark matter and on the construction of the phase transition (PT).
