Fluctuations in cool quark matter and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics
Fluctuations in cool quark matter and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics
We consider the phase diagram of hadronic matter as a function of temperature, $T$, and baryon chemical potential, $\ensuremath{\mu}$. Currently the dominant paradigm is a line of first order transitions which ends at a critical endpoint. In this work we suggest that spatially inhomogeneous phases are a generic feature of …
