Hadron properties in the nuclear medium

RS Hayano, T Hatsuda - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010‏ - APS
The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the hot and/or dense
QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as⟨ q¯ q⟩ is expected to change as a …

Sound velocity peak and conformality in isospin QCD

R Chiba, T Kojo - Physical Review D, 2024‏ - APS
We study zero temperature equations of state (EOS) in isospin QCD within a quark-meson
model which is renormalizable and hence eliminates high density artifacts in models with …
