We study baryon excited states for quark confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. In the first part we discuss spatially deformed baryon excitations. As signals of deformation, we study masses and electromagnetic transitions. Such a study…
We propose a conceptual distinction between hard and soft realizations of deconfinement from nuclear to quark matter. In the high density region of Hard Deconfinement the repulsive hard cores of baryons overlap each other and bulk…
At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. In statistical QCD, deconfinement and the properties of the resulting quark-gluon plasma can be investigated by studying the in-medium…
Heavy quarkonium continues to play a central role in the study of nuclear matter under extremes of temperature and density in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this talk I report on recent developments in the theoretical description of…
Numerical results for the (rest-frame) $Q\bar{Q}$ potential in light-front quantized $QCD_{2+1}$ on a $\perp$ lattice are presented. Both in the longitudinal as well as the $\perp$ spatial directions one obtains linear confinement. The…
We expect that the experimental study of percolation cluster formation and appearance of the critical transparency of the strongly interacting matter can give the information about the onset state of deconfinement.
We study the excitations of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. We present meson and baryon mass splittings and ratios of meson decay constants resulting from quenched and dynamical two-flavor configurations. Light quarks are simulated…
We present a model for quark matter with a density dependent quark-quark (confining) potential, which allows to describe a deconfinement phase transition as the system evolves from a low density assembly of bound structures to a high…
Relativistic heavy ion collisions offer the possibility to produce exotic metastable states of nuclear matter containing (roughly) equal number of strangeness compared to the content in baryon number. The reasoning of both their stability…
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the theory of QCD at very high baryon density. We begin with a review of some aspects of quantum many-body system that are relevant in the QCD context. We also provide a brief review of QCD…
The effect of quantum confinement in the optical absorption spectra of atomically thin {\alpha}-In2Se3 crystals is studied, observing a huge thickness-dependent shift in the optical band gap of exfoliated {\alpha}-In2Se3 flakes. The band…
We study FASER and FASER 2 sensitivities to the quirk signal by simulating the motions of quirks that are travelling through several infrastructures from the ATLAS interaction point to the FASER (2) detector. The ionization energy losses…
If we approximate light quarks as massless and apply the Schwinger confinement mechanism to light quarks, we will reach the conclusion that a light quark $q$ and its antiquark $\bar q$ will be confined as a $q\bar q$ boson in the Abelian…
The role of nonvalence, e.g., sea quarks and/or meson degrees of freedom in static electroweak baryon observables is briefly discussed.
Arguments in favor of a large magnitude ( at least two- three times bigger than its factorized value) of the mixed vacuum condensate $ \la \bar{q}G_{\mu\nu}^a G_{\mu\nu}^a q \ra$ are given. The analysis is based on the strict inequalities…
Thermodynamics of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in SU(3)-QCD is studied below the deconfinement critical temperature, $T_c$. In the quenched case, a model of the string passing through heavy valence gluons yields a correct estimate of $T_c$…
In this work we investigate the confining properties of charged particles of a Dirac material in the plane subject to an electrostatic potential well, that is, in an electric quantum dot. Our study focuses on the effect of mass and angular…
We first introduce the conceptual basis of critical behaviour in strongly interacting matter, with colour deconfinement as QCD analog of the insulator-conductor transition and chiral symmetry restoration as special case of the associated…
Intensive light pulse interaction with a dense resonant medium is considered. The possibilities of optical switching and pulse compression at realistic parameters of the medium are analyzed. Pulse shape transformation in different photonic…
The spectroscopic properties of the doubly heavy spin-$1/2$ baryons $\Xi_{QQ'}$, $\Xi'_{QQ'}$, $\Omega_{QQ'}$ and $\Omega'_{QQ'}$, with heavy quarks $Q$ and $Q'$ being $b$ or/and $c$, are investigated in cold nuclear matter. In particular,…
