TLDR
The transition from low density nuclear matter to high density quark matter can, it is argued, take place in two steps: first, a percolation transition at (subnuclear densities, if the radius of the nucleon is ⪅1 fm) in which the quarks become deconfined but still remain localized, followed by an unbinding transition at higher density, in which matter becomes a uniform quark Fermi liquid as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:

The phase diagram of dense QCD
Kenji Fukushima,Tetsuo Hatsuda +1 more
TL;DR: The current status of theoretical studies on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special emphasis on the origin of various phases and their symmetry breaking patterns as mentioned in this paper.

From hadrons to quarks in neutron stars: a review.
Gordon Baym,Tetsuo Hatsuda,Toru Kojo,Toru Kojo,Philip D. Powell,Philip D. Powell,Yifan Song,Tatsuyuki Takatsuka +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the structure of neutron stars constructed from the unified equations of states with crossover, and present the current equations of state-called "QHC18" for quark-hadron crossover-in a parametrized form practical for neutron star modeling.

Chiral Symmetry and the Bag Model: A New Starting Point for Nuclear Physics
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been realized that there must be corrections to this simple picture, for example, the meson exchange effects which preclude a simple interpretation of the magnetic moment of the deuteron in terms of d-state probability.

Color superconductivity and chiral symmetry restoration at non-zero baryon density and temperature☆
Juergen Berges,Krishna Rajagopal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter as a function of temperature and baryon number density is explored, using a class of models for two-flavor QCD in which the interaction between quarks is modelled by that induced by instantons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of strong-interaction matter from Lattice QCD
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase diagram and properties of hot and dense matter created in heavy ion experiments is presented.

An introduction to percolation theory
TL;DR: Percolation theory, the theory of the properties of classical particles interacting with a random medium, is of wide applicability and provides a simple picture exhibiting critical behaviour, the features of which are well understood and amenable to detailed calculation.

Superdense Matter: Neutrons Or Asymptotically Free Quarks?
John Collins,Malcolm J. Perry +1 more
TL;DR: The quark model implies that superdense matter (found in neutron star cores, exploding black holes, and the early big-bang universe) consists of quarks rather than of hadrons as discussed by the authors.

Can a neutron star be a giant MIT bag
Gordon Baym,Siu A. Chin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the M.I.T. bag model of hadrons was used to show that a neutron matter-quark phase transition is energetically favorable at densities around ten to twenty times nuclear matter density.

Landau theory of relativistic Fermi liquids
Gordon Baym,Siu A. Chin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a relativistic extension of the Landau Fermi liquid theory applicable to the study of high density matter is developed, and the results of Lorentz invariance in the theory are explored.
