This paper extends PFT to hadron physics with a “solenoidal flux”-based explanation of quark confinement differing significantly from Lattice QCD “color flux”-based construction. The theory is ...

ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical model for detecting axions from neutron stars in a QCD phase of quark matter. The axions would be produced from a quark-antiquark pair u u ¯ or d d ¯ , in loop(s) ...

Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC's ion beams collides intensely with a quark or gluon in the nuclear particles that make up the beam traveling in ...

This high-density quark behavior is called color superconductivity. The strength of pairing inside a color superconductor is difficult to calculate, but scientists have long known the strength's ...
