Glueballs amass at RHIC and LHC Colliders! - The early quarkless 1st order phase transition at $T=270$ MeV - from pure Yang-Mills glue plasma to GlueBall-Hagedorn states

TL;DR

This paper proposes that in high-energy collider collisions, a nearly quarkless gluon plasma undergoes a first order phase transition at 270 MeV into a glueball-rich state, with observable signatures like suppressed high pT photons and enhanced strange mesons.

Contribution

It introduces a new scenario of a first order phase transition in pure Yang-Mills gluon plasma leading to GlueBall-Hagedorn states, with specific experimental predictions.

Findings

Prediction of a first order phase transition at 270 MeV in pure gluon plasma.

Expected suppression of high pT photons and dileptons.

Enhanced production of strange mesons.

Abstract

The early stage of high multiplicity pp, pA and AA collider is represented by a nearly quarkless, hot, deconfined pure gluon plasma. According to pure Yang-Mills Lattice Gauge Theory, this hot pure glue matter undergoes, at a high temperature, $T_c = 270$ MeV, a first order phase transition into a confined Hagedorn-GlueBall fluid. These new scenario should be characterized by a suppression of high $p_T$ photons and dileptons, baryon suppression and enhanced strange meson production. We propose to observe this newly predicted class of events at LHC and RHIC.
