Correlation functions are one of the key tools used to study the structure of the QCD vacuum.
They are constructed out of the fundamental fields and can be calculated using quantum …

Production and observation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is one of the most ambitious
goals of the ultrarelativistic heavy ion experiments being carried out at CERN's super proton …

It is shown that the recently reported strong enhancement of the axial-charge matrix element
in first-forbidden β decay in heavy nuclei (A= 205–212) can be simply explained in terms of …

We study scenarios for chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement at finite temperature
and/or density, based on assuming universal scaling relations fort some hadron masses. We …

Static and dynamical properties of QCD at finite temperature and density are reviewed. Non-
perturbative aspects of the QCD plasma and the modification of the hadron properties …

The dynamics of light fermions propagating in a spatial direction at high temperatures can
be described effectively by a two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a heavy effective …

We present a field theoretical equation of state for nuclear matter and neutron-rich matter in
β equilibrium using the chiral sigma model. The model includes an isoscalar vector field …

The main objective of this work is to explore the evolution in the structure of the quark–anti-
quark bound states in going down in the chirally restored phase from the so-called “zero …

We study the conversion of the latent heat of a supercooled quark-gluon plasma into
excitations of the pion field. Supercooling is predicted to occur in the late stages of the …

In this paper we construct a scenario for the QCD transition from the hadron phase to the
quark/gluon phase using physical models for these phases. The hadron phase is modeled …
