Hadronic mass scales and phase transitions in QCD

Масщтабы адронных масс и фаэовые переходы в квантовой хромодинамике

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The connection is discussed between the phase transitions in the hot hadronic matter and characteristic mass parameters of the non-perturbative QCD. The spectrum of the hot hadronic matter containing light coloured scalar fields in addition to ordinary quarks and gluons is investigated by means of the finite-temperature QCD sum rules. A qualitative rearrangement of the spectrum is shown to occur at some temperatureT cr, which is entirely fixed by the value of the scalar field condensate 〈φ φ〉. A variety of possible phase transitions in such a matter is considered.

Riassunto

Si discute la connessione di fase nella materia adronica calda e i parametri di massa caratteristici della QCD non perturbativa. Si studia lo spettro della materia adronica calda che contiene campi scalari colorati leggeri oltre ai quark e ai gluoni per mezzo delle regole di somma della QCD a temperatura finita. Si mostra che un riassestamento qualitativo dello spettro si verifica ad una certa temperaturaT cr, che è interamente fissata dal valore del condensato del campo scalare 〈φ φ〉. Si considera una varietà di transizioni di fase possibili in questa materia.

Реэюме

Обсуждается свяэь между фаэовыми переходами в горячей адронной материи и характерными массовыми параметрами непертурбативной КХД. С помошью правил сумм КХД при конечных температурах исследован спектр горячей адронной материи, содержашей помимо обычных кварков и глюонов легкие цветные скалярные поля. Покаэано, что при некоторой температуре Тсг, целиком определяемой эначением конденсата скалярных полей 〈φ φ〉, происходит качественная перестройка спектра. Обсуждается воэможность раэличных фаэовых переходов в такой среде.

  17. The deviations from the exact scaling here are due to the logarithmic corrections, proportional toα s and the due to the higher terms of the operator product expansion, which are small at the large scale, determined by the large mass of the scalar-containing hadron (12).
