Abstract

We calculate the Equation of State of a quark system interacting through a phenomenological potential: the Richardson's potential, at finite baryon density and zero temperature. In particular we study three different cases with different quark masses(uu and dd), and different assumptions for the potential at large distances. We solve molecular dynamics with a constraint due to Pauli blocking and find evidencies of a phase transition from "nuclear" to "quark matter", which is analyzed also through the behaviour of the J/ΨJ/\Psi embedded in the quark system. We show that the J/ΨJ/\Psi particle behaves as an order parameter.
