Quarkyonic Matter and the Phase Diagram of QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

Quarkyonic matter is a new phase of QCD at finite temperature and density which is distinct from the confined and de-confined phases. Its existence is unambiguously argued in the large number of colors limit in QCD. Hints of its existence for 3 color QCD are shown in lattice Monte-Carlo data and heavy ion experiments.
