The state of cold quark matter: a model-independent view
Renxin Xu (PKU)
TL;DR
This paper explores the potential for quark clustering in cold quark matter within compact stars, emphasizing a model-independent approach to understand strong coupling effects at realistic densities.
Contribution
It provides a model-independent analysis of quark clustering possibilities in cold quark matter at densities relevant to compact stars.
Findings
Quark clustering may occur in cold quark matter due to strong coupling.
The study offers insights into the state of matter inside compact stars.
It challenges traditional views assuming deconfined quark phases.
Abstract
From a model-independent point of view, we address the possibility that quark clustering could occur in cold quark matter at realistic baryon densities because of the likely strong coupling between quarks in compact stars.
