We discuss the equation of state for 2 flavor QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of $\ln Z$ with respect to quark chemical potential $\mu_q$ up to fourth order are calculated, enabling estimates of the pressure, quark…
We discuss the quark masses in a top condensate model where not only two quark but also four quark composite states may exist. We show that the presence of the top color group SU(3)_1\times SU(3)_2 with the correct non anomalous quark…
QCD with eight flavors is studied on $16^3\times N_t$ lattices with $N_t=4$, 6, 8, 16 and 32, a dynamical quark mass $ma=0.015$ and lattice coupling $\beta=6/g^2$ between 4.5 and 5.0. For $N_t=16$ and 32, hadron masses and screening lengths…
By studying symmetric mass textures for the up and down quark sectors, and expanding in a small parameter $\lambda \sim sin\theta_C$, bounds are set on entries commonly assumed to vanish. Consequences of a 2 + 1 family structure which can…
We construct a new color neutral ground state of two-flavor color superconducting quark matter. It is shown that, in contrast with the conventionally considered ground state with diquark pairing in only one color direction, this new state…
We analyze the spectrum of the massive states for the color flavor locked phase (CFL) of QCD. We show that the vector mesons have a mass of the order of the color superconductive gap $\Delta$. We also see that the excitations associated…
At high baryon number density, it has been proposed that a new phase of QCD matter controls the physics. This matter is confining but can have densities much larger than $\Lambda^3_{QCD}$ QCD. Its existence is argued from large Nc…
Cold, asymptotically dense three-flavor quark matter is in the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase, in which all quarks pair in a particularly symmetric fashion. At smaller densities, taking into account a nonzero strange quark mass and…
Compact stars may contain quark matter in their interiors at densities exceeding several times the nuclear saturation density. We explore models of such compact stars where there are two first-order phase transitions: the first from nuclear…
The constants of the effective action describing the massless modes in the color-flavor-locking phase of QCD have been recently evaluated at high density. Values of the pseudoscalar masses for nonvanishing quark masses have also been given.…
A numerical analysis of several phases in the cold neutral two flavor dense quark matter is realized. In the analysis, besides the normal, single plane wave LOFF, and color superconducting 2SC/g2SC phases, we also include two gluonic phases…
We present estimates of the masses of light quarks using lattice data. Our main results are based on a global analysis of all the published data for Wilson, Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover), and staggered fermions, both in the quenched…
We determine the equation of state of QCD for nonzero chemical potentials via a Taylor expansion of the pressure. The results are obtained for N_f=2+1 flavors of quarks with physical masses, on various lattice spacings. We present results…
In this work, we systematically calculate the mass spectra of the $S$-wave fully heavy tetraquark states $bb\bar b\bar b$, $cc\bar c\bar c$, and $bb\bar c\bar c$ in two nonrelativistic quark models. A tetraquark state may be an admixture of…
We show that confinement of spinless heavy quarks in fundamental representation of $SU(N_{c})$ gauge group can be treated as decoherence of pure colour state into a white mixture of states. Decoherence rate is found to be proportional to…
We describe the effects of the strange quark mass and of the color and electric neutrality on the superconducing phases of QCD.
We investigate the properties of light scalar and pseudoscalar mesons at finite (light) quark chemical potential. To this end we solve a coupled set of (truncated) Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark and gluon propagators in…
It is demonstrated how in the absence of solutions for QCD under conditions deep inside compact stars an equation of state can be obtained within a model that is built on the basic symmetries of the QCD Lagrangian, in particular chiral…
We present results from simulations of Two Color QCD with two Wilson quark flavors in the presence of a quark chemical potential mu at two different lattice spacings. The equation of state, conformal anomaly, superfluid order parameter and…
Since the birth of the quark model, the diquark which is composed of two quarks has been considered as a substantial structure of color anti-triplet. This is not only a mathematical simplification for dealing with baryons, but also provides…
