Heavy-quark effects on the equation of state for cold and dense quark matter are obtained from perturbative QCD, yielding observables parametrized only by the renormalization scale. In particular, we investigate the thermodynamics of charm quark matter under the constraints of $β$ equilibrium and electric charge neutrality in a region of densities where perturbative QCD is, in principle, much more reliable. Finally, we analyze the stability of charm stars, a possible new branch of ultradense, self-bound compact stars, and find that they are unstable under radial oscillations.

We investigate the thermodynamics of charm quark matter under the constraints of $β$ equilibrium and electric charge neutrality in a region of densities where perturbative QCD is, in principle, much more reliable. We also analyze the stability of charm stars, which might be realized as a new branch of ultradense hybrid compact stars, and find that such quark stars are unstable under radial oscillations…
We revisit the transport coefficients of heavy quarkonia moving in high-temperature QCD plasmas. The thermal width and mass shift for heavy quarkonia are closely related to the momentum diffusion coefficient and its dispersive counterpart for heavy quarks, respectively. For quarkonium at rest in plasmas the longitudinal gluon part of the color-singlet self-energy diagram is sufficient to determine the leading-order thermal width, whereas the momentum dependence is obtained from the transverse gluon channel. Using the quarkonium-gluon effective vertex based on the dipole interaction of color ch…
The propagation of long-wavelength gluons through a dense QCD medium at high baryon chemical potential mu_B is qualitatively modified by the effects of screening, arising from scatterings off the high-momentum quarks in the medium. This same screening phenomenon also impacts gluons occurring in loop corrections to the pressure of cold quark matter, leading to contributions from the parametric scale Sqrt(alpha_s)*mu_B, starting at next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) in the strong coupling constant alpha_s. At next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO), interactions between these long-wavelen…
I describe a novel mechanism where the variation of an $ω_0$ condensate can generate a "spike" in the speed of sound in hadronic matter. An $ω_0$ condensate naturally increases the speed of sound; the real problem is how to get the speed of sound to decrease. I suggest this can happen through the appearance of a Quantum Pion Liquid.
In the present work, we have studied heavy quarkonia potential in hot and magnetized quark gluon plasma. Inverse magnetic catalysis (IMC) effect is incorporated within the system through the magnetic field modified Debye mass by modifying the effective quark masses. We have obtained the real and imaginary part of the heavy quark potential in this new scenario. After the evaluation of the binding energy and the decay width we comment about the dissociation temperatures of the heavy quarkonia in presence of magnetic field.

我们计算了一个夸克-胶子等离子体中的重夸克偶素能级和衰变宽度,该等离子体的温度T和屏蔽质量m_D满足m α_s >> T >> m α_s^2>> m_D(m是重夸克质量),m α_s^5阶。我们首先顺序地积分出尺度m、m α_s和T,然后,我们使用区域积分技术在所得到的有效理论中进行计算。确定了一个共线区域,该区域以该顺序起作用。我们还讨论了我们的结果对重离子碰撞中重夸克偶素抑制的影响。
This thesis is devoted to properties of quark matter at high density and (comparatively) low temperature, which might exist in the interior of compact stars. The specific heat and the quark self energy in normal quark matter are discussed in detail. In particular higher order corrections to the known leading order results are obtained. Also the phenomenon of color superconductivity is discussed, with particular emphasis on the proof of gauge independence of the fermionic quasiparticle dispersion laws. Moreover, the expectation value of the gluon field in the 2SC and CFL phase is computed at le…
