Modeling the transition from Hadron Gas to deconfined Quark Matter via the Albright-Kapusta-Young switch function.

Speaker

Mr Giorgos Tsalis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki)

Description

This work aims to investigate the bulk properties of hybrid stars. The transition from hadronic matter to deconfined quark matter is modeled by a switching function introduced by Albright, Kapusta and Welle. This function has an exponential form, given by: $S(\mu)\,=\,exp[-(\mu_0/\mu)^r]$ and combines the two states of the matter smoothly, in contrast with Maxwell and Gibbs transition.
