Quark matter in a QCD Coulomb gauge quark model

Abstract: In this communication we present results of a study of chiral symmetry in quark matter using an effective Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian. QCD in Coulomb gauge is convenient for a variational approach based on a quasiparticle picture for the transverse gluons, in which a confining Coulomb potential arises naturally. We show that such an effective Hamiltonian predicts chiral restoration at too low quark densities. Possible reasons for such deficiency are discussed.

“…Recently we have shown how to measure in the excited hadron spectra the running mass m(p) [10]. The chiral invariant and confining quark models have also been applied to phase studies at finite temperature T and chemical potential µ [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. A finite quark mass is relevant both for the study of hadrons which have been investigated for decades, and for the study the QCD phase diagram which will be explored in the future at RHIC, LHC and FAIR.…”

“…Importantly, since our model is well defined and solvable, it can be used as a simpler model than QCD, and yet qualitatively correct, to address different aspects of hadronic physics. Is is adequate to study the QCD phase diagram microscopically [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. We scan the current quark masses, from the light quarks to the heavy quarks, computing the running quark mass m(p) with detail, including the infrared limit of m(0), i. e. the mass gap.…”
