Recent developments and pending issues in low-energy strong interaction physics with strangeness are summarized. Chiral SU(3) effective field theory has progressed as the appropriate theoretical framework applied to antikaon- and hyperon-nuclear systems. Topics include antikaon-nucleon interactions and the Lambda(1405), KbarNN systems, recent developments in hyperon-nucleon interactions and strangeness in dense baryonic matter with emphasis on new constraints from neutron star observations.
Pion and Strangeness Production as Signals of QCD Phase Transition
结果表明,在15 A GeV/c(BNL AGS)和160 A GeV/c(CERN SPS)碰撞能量范围内,中心核-核碰撞中π介子和奇异态的产生与形成夸克-胶子等离子体的假设是一致的.在统计方法的框架下解释的实验结果表明,在相变过程中,有效自由度增加了约3倍,并且在CERN SPS能量下产生的等离子体可能具有约280 MeV的温度(能量密度$\approx$ 10 GeV/fm^3)。为了局域化阈能和研究QCD相变的性质,迫切需要在20-160 A GeV/c能量范围内对中心Pb+Pb碰撞进行实验研究。
We present a strangeness-neutral equation of state for QCD that exhibits critical behavior and matches lattice QCD results for the Taylor-expanded thermodynamic variables up to fourth-order in $μ_B/T$. It is compatible with the SMASH hadronic transport approach and has a range of temperatures and baryonic chemical potentials relevant for phase II of the Beam Energy Scan at RHIC. We provide an updated version of the software BES-EoS, which produces an equation of state for QCD that includes a critical point in the 3D Ising model universality class. This new version also includes isentropic trej…
The strange quark plays a unique role in QCD, reflecting its intermediate mass between the light and heavy quarks. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the spectroscopy of baryons with strangeness. Many new features of the strange baryon spectrum have been revealed by accurate experimental data with novel techniques, as well as systematic developments of theoretical framework to describe hadron resonances. The basic properties of strange baryons, namely, the pole positions, spin and parity, and decay branching ratios, are being determined accurately. As a consequence, the Part…
We calculate a resummed equation of state with lattice QCD simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. This work presents a generalization of the scheme introduced in 2102.06660 to the case of non-zero $μ_S$, focusing on the line of strangeness neutrality. We present results up to $μ_B/T \leq 3.5$ on the strangeness neutral line $\left\langle S \right\rangle = 0$ in the temperature range $130 \rm{MeV} \leq T \leq 280 \rm{MeV}$. We also extrapolate the finite baryon density equation of state to small non-zero values of the strangeness-to-baryon ratio $R=\left\langle S \right\rangle / \left\la…

In this work, we discuss the deconfinement phase transition to quark matter in hot/dense matter. We {examine} the effect that different charge fractions, isospin fractions, net strangeness, and chemical equilibrium with respect to leptons have on the position of the coexistence line between different phases. In particular, we investigate how different sets of conditions that describe matter in neutron stars and their mergers, or matter created in heavy-ion collisions affect the position of the critical end point, namely where the first-order phase transition becomes a crossover. We also presen…
Second-order susceptibilities $χ^{11}_{ij}$ of baryon, electric, and strangeness, $B$, $Q$, and $S$, charges, are calculated in the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model and compared to available lattice QCD data. The susceptibilities are sensitive to the short range repulsive interactions between different hadron species, especially to the hardcore repulsion of hyperons. Decreasing the hyperons size, as compared to the size of the non-strange baryons, does improve significantly the agreement of the CMF model results with the Lattice QCD data. The electric charge-dependent susceptibilities are sensiti…
Magnetized strange quark matter in a quasiparticle description
将准粒子模型推广到有限密度强磁场中奇异夸克物质的性质。对于与密度相关的夸克质量,通过增加一个有效袋参数,得到了自洽的热力学处理,该参数不仅与密度有关,而且与磁场强度有关.当磁场强度小于一个依赖于QCD标度$Λ$的$10^7$高斯阶的临界值时,磁场使奇异夸克物质在能量上更加稳定。有效袋函数在$0.3\sim 0.4$ fm $^{-3}$附近有一个最大值,而不是QCD标度参数$Λ>126$ MeV的密度的单调函数。讨论了磁场和QCD标度参数对磁化奇异夸克物质状态方程刚度和奇异星可能的最大质量的影响
We revisit the holographic description of strange baryons in the context of the Sakai-Sugimoto construction, by considering the strange quark mass as heavy. Hyperons are described by a massive $(K,K^*)$ multiplet, bound to a light-flavor instanton in bulk, much in the spirit of the Callan-Klebanov construction. The modular Hamiltonian maps onto the Landau problem, a charged particle in a 2-dimensional external magnetic field, induced by the bulk Chern-Simons interaction, plus spin-orbit coupling. The ensuing holographic hyperon spectrum compares fairly with the empirical one. The holographic s…
