Background: At high density deconfinement of hadronic matter may occur leading to quark matter. The immense densities reached in the inner core of massive neutron stars may be sufficient to facilitate the transition. Purpose: To investigate…

Granular systems confined in vertically vibrated shallow horizontal boxes (quasi two-dimensional geometry) present a liquid to solid phase transition when the frequency of the periodic forcing is increased. An effective model, where grains…
Infinite nuclear matter is studied by resuming the series of ladder diagrams based on the results developed by us in Ann. Phys. 437, 168741 (2022). The master formula for the energy density is explicitly solved for the case of contact…
