Sigma Meson

In this work, we study the temperature and chemical potential dependence of the masses of sigma and pion mesons as well as the quark condensate by using a SU(2) flavor version of the Nambu–Jona–Lassino model, introducing a prescription that mimics confinement. We have found that as the temperature increases, the mass of sigma shifts down, while the pion mass remains almost constant. On the other hand, the quark condensate decreases as the temperature and chemical potential increases. We have also analyzed the temperature and chemical potential dependence of the spectral function of the sigma meson, from which we observe at low values of T and [Formula: see text] an absence of a peak. Furthermore, as the Mott temperature is reached, its value increases abruptly and a distinct peak emerges, which is related with the dissociation of the sigma. For the case of [Formula: see text], the Mott dissociation is exhibited about the temperature of 189 MeV. We have also obtained the chiral phase diagram and the meson dissociation for different values of [Formula: see text]. From these results, we can state a relation between chiral symmetry restoration and Mott dissociation.

AbstractIn a system of quark matter we study the chiral phase transition, the behavior of the chiral and quark number susceptibility and the CEP at finite temperature and chemical potential. This is done within the framework of two-flavor Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model. We have calculated the chiral quark condensate and the quark number density and, with this, we have found the phase transition type. With these quantities we have determined the phase diagram for QCD and the CEP.

In this paper, the coupling strength G of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is modified by incorporating quark’s feedback into the gluon propagator. The modified two-flavor NJL model with the quark-dependent coupling strength is explored. The quark condensate in this framework has a conspicuous agreement with the lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) results at finite temperature. Then, it is compared with the original NJL model in both zero (chiral limit) and nonzero current quark mass. The QCD phase diagram and susceptibilities are investigated in the temperature–chemical potential [Formula: see text] plane. Therefore, the pseudo-critical temperature [Formula: see text] and the critical end point (CEP) are worked out and compared with original NJL model or lattice QCD results. In addition, the pion mass and decay constant are studied at finite temperature.

The Difference

We investigate the finite-temperature and zero quark chemical potential QCD chiral phase transition of strongly interacting matter within the two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model as well as the proper time regularization. We use two different regularization processes, as discussed in Refs. 36 and 37, separately, to discuss how the effective mass M varies with the temperature T. Based on the calculation, we find that the M of both regularization schemes decreases when T increases. However, for three different parameter sets, quite different behaviors will show up. The results obtained by the method in Ref. 36 are very close to each other, but those in Ref. 37 are getting farther and farther from each other. This means that although the method in Ref. 37 seems physically more reasonable, it loses the advantage in Ref. 36 of a small parameter dependence. In addition, we also, find that two regularization schemes provide similar results when T [Formula: see text] 100 MeV, while when T is larger than 100 MeV, the difference becomes obvious: the M calculated by the method in Ref. 36 decreases more rapidly than that in Ref. 37.

Chiral Susceptibility

In this paper, we use the two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to study the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) chiral phase transition. To deal with the ultraviolet (UV) issue, we adopt the popular proper time regularization (PTR), which is commonly used not only for hadron physics but also for the studies with magnetic fields. This regularization scheme can introduce the infrared (IR) cutoff to include quark confinement. We generalize the PTR to zero temperature and finite chemical potential case use a completely new method, and then study the chiral susceptibility, both in the chiral limit case and with finite current quark mass. The chiral phase transition is second-order in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and crossover at [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Three sets of parameters are used to make sure that the results do not depend on the parameter choice.

In this paper, we use the two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model together with the proper time regularization that has both ultraviolet and infrared cutoffs to study the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and zero chemical potential. The involved model parameters in our calculation are determined in the traditional way. Our calculations show that the dependence of the results on the choice of the parameters are really small, which can then be regarded as an advantage besides such a regularization scheme is Lorentz invariant.

Influence Of Temperature On

The influence of temperature on the pion decay constant and the two-photon decay of π0 is considered near the chiral symmetry restoration point. We analyze how the mass and decay width relate to each other and find that the π0 decay width in hot matter is suppressed, provided that the pion mass vanishes at the critical point; it diverges if pion mass remains finite while quark condensate is dissolved at T c .

AbstractWithin the three-flavor PNJL and EPNJL chiral quark models we have obtained pseudoscalar meson properties in quark matter at finite temperature T and baryochemical potential μB. We compare the meson pole (Breit-Wigner) approximation with the Beth-Uhlenbeck (BU) approach that takes into account the continuum of quark-antiquark scattering states when determining the partial densities of pions and kaons. We evaluate the kaon-to-pion ratios along the (pseudo-)critical line in the T − μB plane as a proxy for the chemical freezeout line, whereby the variable x = T∕μB is introduced that corresponds to the conserved entropy per baryon as initial condition for the heavy-ion collision experiments. We present a comparison with the experimental pattern of kaon-to-pion ratios within the BU approach and using x-dependent pion and strange quark potentials. A sharp “horn” effect in the energy dependence K+∕π+ ratio is explained by the enhanced pion production at energies above √sNN=8 GeV, when the system enters the regime of meson dominance. This effect is in line with the enhancement of low-momentum pion spectra that is discussed as a precursor of the pion Bose condensation and entails the occurrence of a nonequilibrium pion chemical potential of the order of the pion mass. We elucidate that the horn effect is not related to the existence of a critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagram.

The Continuum

We study the relation between two order parameters for deconfinement, normally employed in the literature: the continuum threshold s0, in the context of QCD Sum Rules, and the trace of the Polyakov loop ϕ in the framework of a nonlocal SU(2) chiral quark model. We establish a bridge between both order parameters at finite temperature T and baryonic chemical potential μ. In our analysis, we also include the the chiral quark condensate, the order parameter for the chiral symmetry restoration. We found that s0 and ϕ provide us with the same information for the deconfinement transition, both for the zero and finite chemical potential cases. At zero density, the critical temperatures for both quantities coincide exactly. This part of the analysis has been reinforced by the discussion of the corresponding susceptibilities and the static quark entropy behavior. At finite μ both order parameters provide evidence for the appearance of a quarkyonic phase.
