HADRONIC MASS SCALES AND PHASE TRANSITIONS IN QCD

Abstract

The connection is discussed between the phase transitions in the hot hadronic matter and characteristic mass parameters of the non-perturbative QCD. The spectrum of the hot hadronic matter containing light coloured scalar fields in addition to ordinary quarks and gluons is investigated by means of the finite-temperature QCD sum rules. A qualitative rearrangement of the spectrum is shown to occur at some temperature T cr, which is entirely fixed by the value of the scalar field condensate 〈φ † φ〉. A variety of possible phase transitions in such a matter is considered. © 1986 Società Italiana di Fisica.

QCD matter

Quark matter or QCD matter (quantum chromodynamic) refers to any of a number of hypothetical phases of matter whose degrees of freedom include quarks and gluons, of which the prominent example is quark-gluon plasma. Several series of conferences in 2019, 2020, and 2021 were devoted to this topic. Quarks are liberated into quark matter at extremely high temperatures and/or densities, and some of them are still only theoretical as they require conditions so extreme that they cannot be produced in any laboratory, especially not at equilibrium conditions.

Lattice QCD

Lattice QCD is a well-established non-perturbative approach to solving the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) theory of quarks and gluons. It is a lattice gauge theory formulated on a grid or lattice of points in space and time. When the size of the lattice is taken infinitely large and its sites infinitesimally close to each other, the continuum QCD is recovered. Analytic or perturbative solutions in low-energy QCD are hard or impossible to obtain due to the highly nonlinear nature of the strong force and the large coupling constant at low energies.

Quark–gluon plasma

Quark–gluon plasma (or QGP and quark soup) is an interacting localized assembly of quarks and gluons at thermal (local kinetic) and (close to) chemical (abundance) equilibrium. The word plasma signals that free color charges are allowed. In a 1987 summary, Léon van Hove pointed out the equivalence of the three terms: quark gluon plasma, quark matter and a new state of matter.
