SU(2) Glueballs, diquarks and mesons in dense matter

TL;DR

This study investigates the properties of glueballs, diquarks, and mesons in dense matter using lattice simulations of 2-color QCD at finite baryon density, providing insights into their behavior under such conditions.

Contribution

It presents high-statistics lattice results on glueball, meson, and diquark correlators in dense 2-color QCD, a novel exploration of these states at non-zero baryon density.

Findings

Glueball correlators evaluated with multi-step smearing.

Analysis of scalar and vector mesons at finite density.

Preliminary results indicating behavior of hadronic states in dense matter.

Abstract

We present preliminary results from a high statistics study of 2-color QCD at low temperature and non-zero baryon density. The simulations are carried out on a 6^3*12 lattice and use a standard hybrid molecular dynamics algorithm for staggered fermions for two values of quark mass. Observables include glueball correlators evaluated via a multi-step smearing procedure as well as scalar and vector mesons and diquarks.
