HI-DENSITY RESEARCH CENTER. “This includes the study of the equation-of-state of nuclear matter at neutron star core densities, and the search for the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions.”(Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research). https://lnkd.in/d3WhYQX View in LinkedIn

QUARKS + GLUONS. “The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.” (QCD = quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons). https://lnkd.in/d3WhYQX View in LinkedIn

“STRANGE QUARK STARS may be naked SQM objects wrapped in simple nuclear crusts or bulk SQM nuclei. The possible presence of nuclear crusts creates SSs that are very similar to normal neutron stars for a distant observer.” (SSs = strange quark stars; SQM = strange quark matter); for full reference paste title into Google Scholar. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-018-3335-9 View in LinkedIn

ON STRANGER THINGS. “There is always a fractional charge associated with quarks like a up(u) quark has a charge of +2/3 whereas a down(d) type has −1/3 charge, for example we can say a neutron is made up of two down(d) and one up(u) type quark and proton is made of two up(u) and one down(d) type quarks. Strange quark has a charge of −1/3 and has its unique property called strangeness with value −1 whereas an anti strange quark has strangeness of +1.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-018-3335-9 View in LinkedIn

A VERY CURIOUS THING. “It is difficult to isolate a single quark, the reason behind this is that quarks never exist by themselves, they always exist in groups. Quarks are basically of 6 types: up(u), down(d), strange(s), charm(c), top(t) and bottom(b) in which up(u), down(d) and strange(s) are three main types of quarks. Nucleons, we know are mostly made of up and down quarks but in nuclei of strange matter, strange quark is also present and they have very high density.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-018-3335-9 View in LinkedIn

TO START AT THE BEGINNING. “To understand the early phase of Universe, it is influential to study quark gluon plasma. Quarks are the most fundamental particles known as the building blocks of the matter we see around us.” https://lnkd.in/dsTzBxM View in LinkedIn
