With high energy heavy ion collisions one tries to create a new forms of matter that is similar to the one present at the birth of our Universe. Recent development on flow pattern, initial energy-density and freeze-out temperature shows…
We have studied the phenomenology of pion condensation in 2-flavor neutral quark matter at finite density with Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of QCD. We have discussed the role of the bare quark mass $m$ and the electric chemical potential…
The nuclear symmetry energy as a function of density is rather poorly constrained theoretically and experimentally both below saturation density, but particularly at high density, where very few relevant experimental data exist. We discuss…
Transport processes are considered for their abilities to generate flow in a mixed-phase system of hadrons plus quark-gluon plasma exhibiting temperature and density gradients. Diffusive mechanisms are found to be the leading sources. Even…
A large primordial lepton asymmetry is capable of explaining the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) through suppression of the electroweak sphaleron rates (``sphaleron freeze-in") which can lead to a first-order cosmic QCD transition…
I discuss pion and koan condensation and the the properties of the phases of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$ and strangeness chemical potential $\mu_S$ at zero temperature using three-flavor chiral perturbation theory.…
We explore a scenario that allows for a strong first order phase-transition of QCD at non-negligible baryon number in the early universe and its possible cosmological observable consequences. The main assumption is a quasi-stable QCD-vacuum…
We perform simulations of (3-colour) QCD with 2 quark flavours at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin($I_3$), and of 2-colour QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu$ for quark number. At zero temperature, QCD at finite $\mu_I$…
We have developed a phenomenological effective quantum-field theoretical model describing the "hadron gas" of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons, scalar {\sigma}-meson and {\sigma}-vacuum, i.e. the expectation value of the {\sigma}-field, at…
We study the propagation of pions at finite temperature and finite chemical potential in the framework of the linear sigma model with 2 quark flavors and $N_c$ colors. The velocity of massless pions in general differs from that of light.…
The early big bang is an alphabet soup of quarks, W bosons, gluons, and other exotic particles and flavors. In the usual scenario, there is no place for the pion. It dissociates in the alphabet soup of the early universe. I will show that…
We study gluon condensate in a pion superfluid, through calculating the equation of state of the system in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. While in mean field approximation the growing pion condensate leads to an increasing gluon condensate,…
Possible coexistence and/or competition of kaon condensation with hyperons are investigated in hyperonic matter, where hyperons are mixed in the ground state of neutron-star matter. The formulation is based on the effective chiral…
The properties of QCD matter at finite isospin densities are investigated employing holographic hard-wall and soft-wall AdS/QCD models. It is confirmed that at high enough isospin densities, charged pions start to condense and the pion…
We present a canonical approach to study properties of QCD at finite baryon density rho, and apply it to the determination of the phase diagram of four-flavour QCD. For a pion mass of about 350 MeV, the first-order transition between the…
We consider the case where the saturated and unequilibriated initial stage of a high multiplicity p-p and p-Pb collision, may, due to high occupation number, display superfluid properties. The special case of an unequilibrated plasma of…
Despite of remarkable successes the theory of superfluidity, until now we have no a physical explanation of an opportunity of existence of viscousless flow of liquid helium in viscous medium. The existence of superfluid flow becomes…
The O(4) linear sigma model of the chiral transition in QCD is similar to models of the superfluid transition in 4He and 3He. Observations of vortex formation in superfluid helium have recently improved the understanding of the dynamics of…
This article introduces Kerson Huang's theory on superfluid universe in these aspects: I. choose the asymptotically free Halpern-Huang scalar field(s) to drive inflation; II. use quantum turbulence to create matter; III. consider dark…
We present theoretical and experimental evidence for a new phase of matter in neutron-rich systems that we call multimodal superfluidity. Using ab initio lattice calculations, we show that the condensate consists of coexisting s-wave pairs,…
