Theoretical and experimental studies of hot and/or dense matter, such as is created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, and encountered in compact objects in astrophysics, constitute one of the most active frontiers in nuclear physics. In…
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…
