摘要:

对于有限化学势,QCD的有效模型预言了一级相变。为了研究自然界中的这种相变,我们基于MIT袋模型构造了一个奇异夸克物质的状态方程。我们将这个状态方程应用于具有有限温度和大重子密度的高度非对称核塌缩超新星物质。利用广义Gibbs条件构造了相变,从而在相图中扩展了纯强子相和纯夸克相的共存区域,即混合相。基于球对称的三味Boltzmann中微子输运模型,采用广义相对论辐射流体力学方法对超新星进行了数值模拟。在10 MeV以上的动力学演化温度下,重子密度高于核饱和密度,质子-重子比低于0.2。在这些条件下,触发相变,这导致混合相中物质的EoS显著软化。作为纯夸克相物质的初始态硬化的直接结果,在混合相和纯强子相之间的边界处形成了激波。这种冲击波被加速并向外传播,由于冲击波加热的强子物质的简并度被提升,从而释放出以电子反中微子为主的中微子爆发。我们讨论了辐射流体动力学演化的相变在几个低和中等质量的铁核祖星的例子,并说明预期的中微子信号的相变。

英文摘要:

For finite chemical potential effective models of QCD predict a first order phase transition. In favour for the search of such a phase transition in nature, we construct an equation of state for strange quark matter based on the MIT bag model. We apply this equation of state to highly asymmetric core collapse supernova matter with finite temperatures and large baryon densities. The phase transition is constructed using the general Gibbs conditions, which results in an extended coexistence region between the pure hadronic and pure quark phases in the phase diagram, i.e. the mixed phase. The supernovae are simulated via general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics based on three flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport in spherical symmetry. During the dynamical evolution temperatures above 10 MeV, baryon densities above nuclear saturation density and a proton-to-baryon ratio below 0.2 are obtained. At these conditions the phase transition is triggered which leads to a significant softening of the EoS for matter in the mixed phase. As a direct consequence of the stiffening of the EoS again for matter in the pure quark phase, a shock wave forms at the boundary between the mixed and the pure hadronic phases. This shock is accelerated and propagates outward which releases a burst of neutrinos dominated by electron anti-neutrinos due to the lifted degeneracy of the shock-heated hadronic material. We discuss the radiation-hydrodynamic evolution of the phase transition at the example of several low and intermediate mass Fe-core progenitor stars and illustrate the expected neutrino signal from the phase transition.
