Spinodal instabilities of baryon-rich quark matter in heavy ion collisions
Spinodal instabilities of baryon-rich quark matter in heavy ion collisions
Using the test-particle method to solve the transport equation derived from the Nambu-Jona-Lasino (NJL) model, we study how phase separation occurs in expanding quark matter like that in a heavy ion collision. To test our method, we first investigate the growth rates of unstable modes of quark matter in a …
