Strange quark matter as dark matter: 40 years later, a reappraisal

F Di Clemente, M Casolino, A Drago… - Monthly Notices of …, 2025 - academic.oup.com
Forty years ago Witten suggested that dark matter could be composed of macroscopic
clusters of strange quark matter. This idea was very popular for several years, but it dropped …

Hadronization of heavy quarks

J Zhao, J Aichelin, PB Gossiaux, A Beraudo, S Cao… - Physical Review C, 2024 - APS
Heavy-flavor hadrons produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are a sensitive probe
for studying hadronization mechanisms of the quark-gluon-plasma. In this paper, we survey …

Charmonium production in a thermalizing heat bath

T Song, J Aichelin, E Bratkovskaya - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
Using the Remler formalism for the creation of composed particles, we study charmonium
production both in thermalized and thermalizing boxes, which contain charm and anticharm …

Bremsstrahlung photons from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma

T Song - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
Assuming that quark and antiquark numbers are separately conserved during hadronization,
I calculate bremsstrahlung photons from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma. The quark and …

Probing Quark Hadronization with B mesons at the LHC

S Costa - 2023 - cds.cern.ch
In nature, quarks cannot exist by themselves. When produced, like for instance in high
energy collisions, quarks join together with other quarks to form hadrons. This process …
