UNKNOWN STATES OF MATTER. “The structure of the QCD phase diagram in the region of large baryon chemical potential is essentially unknown. Exotic phases of QCD matter have been proposed, such as quarkyonic matter, which can be considered as a Fermi gas of free quarks, with all thermal excitations permanently confined. In addition to these conjectured landmarks, figure 1 indicates also the regions of cosmic matter like neutron stars and neutron star mergers, which are located at large baryon-chemical potentials, low temperatures, and finite isospin chemical potentials.” (QCD = quark matter).
