We consider the phase diagram of hadronic matter as a function of temperature, T , and baryon chemical potential, mu. Currently the dominant paradigm is a line of first order transitions which ends at a critical endpoint. In this work we…
The behavior of kaons and pions in strange quark matter in weak equilibrium, is investigated within the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio [NJL] model. This work focuses a region of high densities where the behavior of mesons has not been explored in…
We present a canonical method where the properties of QCD are directly obtained as a function of the baryon density rho, rather than the chemical potential mu. We apply this method to the determination of the phase diagram of four-flavor…
High density phase transitions in a 4 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model containing a single symmetry breaking order parameter coming from the fermion-antifermion condensates are researched and expounded by means of both the gap equation…
We investigate chiral phase transition of the first order in the quark matter. Using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, an equation of state of the quark matter which is similar to the van der Waals' one is obtained. Moreover the specific heat…
The transition amplitude for $\pi K$ scattering is evaluated within the SU(3) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Ordering terms according to the expansion in $1/N_c$ leads to a box-like diagram, $t$ channel diagrams that admit scalar isoscalar…
At the chiral restoration/deconfinement transition, most hadrons undergo a Mott transition from being bound states in the confined phase to resonances in the deconfined phase. We investigate the consequences of this qualitative change in…
Ratio of the yield of strange hadrons to pions is considered as an important observable in studying the properties of the system produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Production of strange hadrons $K, \bar{K}, \Lambda, \Sigma, \Xi$…
We study the thermal production of kaons in hot and dense symmetric and asymmetric hypernuclear matter in the context of the modified quark-meson coupling model. All the baryon species and kaons are treated as MIT bags that interact with…

We investigate photon emission at the hadronization stage from a quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A recombination-model picture suggests that a quark and an antiquark bind into a meson state in hadronization,…
The effect of finite hadronization time is considered in the recombination model, and it is shown that the hadron multiplicity turns out to be proportional to the initial quark density and unitarity is conserved in the model. The baryon to…
At zero chemical potential mu, the order of the temperature-driven quark-hadron transition depends on the quark masses m_{u,d} and m_s. Along a critical line bounding the region of first-order chiral transitions in the (m_{u,d},m_s) plane,…
We have studied the probability of two succinct particle production mechanisms, likely to occur in the transition from the deconfined medium produced in RHIC and LHC heavy ion collisions back to the hadron gas, which is abundant at lower…
We consider hadron production in high energy collisions as an Unruh radiation phenomenon. This mechanism describes the production pattern of newly formed hadrons and is directly applicable at vanishing baryochemical potential, mu = 0. It…

Particle formation represents a central theme in various branches of physics, often associated to confinement. Here we show that dynamical hadron formation can be spectroscopically detected in an ultracold atomic setting within the most…
