The phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter at high baryon density

K Fukushima, C Sasaki - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2013 - Elsevier
We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter
at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics …

Inhomogeneous chiral condensates

M Buballa, S Carignano - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2015 - Elsevier
The chiral condensate, which is constant in vacuum, may become spatially modulated at
moderately high densities where in the traditional picture of the QCD phase diagram a first …

[PDF][PDF] Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars

A Lovato, T Dore, RD Pisarski, B Schenke… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - researchgate.net
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …

Stiffening of matter in quark-hadron continuity

T Kojo - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We discuss stiffening of matter in quark-hadron continuity. We introduce a model that relates
quark wave functions in a baryon and the occupation probability of states for baryons and …

[HTML][HTML] Propagators and phase structure of Nf= 2 and Nf= 2+ 1 QCD

CS Fischer, J Luecker - Physics Letters B, 2013 - Elsevier
We investigate the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential by
solving a coupled set of truncated Dyson–Schwinger equations for the quark and gluon …

Peaks of sound velocity in two color dense QCD: Quark saturation effects and semishort range correlations

T Kojo, D Suenaga - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We discuss stiffening of dense matter in two color QCD (QC 2 D) where hadrons are mesons
and diquark baryons. We study two models which describe a transition of matter from the …

Dense QCD2 with matrix product states

T Hayata, Y Hidaka, K Nishimura - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study one-flavor SU (2) and SU (3) lattice QCD in (1+ 1) dimensions at zero
temperature and finite density using matrix product states and the density matrix …

Remarks on nuclear matter: How an condensate can spike the speed of sound, and a model of baryons

RD Pisarski - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
I make two comments about nuclear matter. First, I consider the effects of a coupling
between the O (4) chiral field, ϕ→, and the ω μ meson,∼+ ϕ→ 2 ω μ 2; for any net baryon …

Holographic quarkyonic matter

N Kovensky, A Schmitt - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We point out a new configuration in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, allowing
baryons in the pointlike approximation to coexist with fundamental quarks. The resulting …

The quark mass gap in a magnetic field

T Kojo, N Su - Physics Letters B, 2013 - Elsevier
A magnetic field and the resulting Landau degeneracy enhance the infrared contributions to
the quark mass gap. The gap does not grow arbitrarily, however, for models of asymptotic …
