Free Quarks and Antiquarks versus Hadronic Matter
Xiao-Ming Xu, Ru Peng
TL;DR
This paper investigates how meson-meson reactions at high temperatures can generate free quarks and antiquarks, revealing a new mechanism for quark deconfinement within hadronic matter.
Contribution
It introduces a novel mechanism for quark deconfinement driven by meson-meson reactions in high-temperature hadronic environments.
Findings
Meson-meson reactions produce free quarks and antiquarks.
A new deconfinement mechanism is identified.
Free quark production is significant at high temperatures.
Abstract
Meson-meson reactions A(q_1 \bar{q}_1) + B(q_2 \bar{q}_2) to q_1 + \bar{q}_1 + q_2 + \bar{q}_2 in high-temperature hadronic matter are found to produce an appreciable amount of quarks and antiquarks freely moving in hadronic matter and to establish a new mechanism for deconfinement of quarks and antiquarks in hadronic matter.
