Polyakov-loop suppression of colored states in a quark-meson-diquark plasma

Abstract: A quark-meson-diquark plasma is considered within the PNJL model for dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and restoration in quark matter. Based on a generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck approach to mesons and diquarks we present the thermodynamics of this system including the Mott dissociation of mesons and diquarks at finite temperature. A striking result is the suppression of the diquark abundance below the chiral restoration temperature by the coupling to the Polyakov loop, because of their color degree of freedom. Th… Show more

“…The masses of all the mesons and the condensate amplitude in the plasma decrease with T at T < T c . Such a characteristic behavior is different from that in other approaches [2,3,12] where the σ-meson mass also decreases but the pion mass remains either finite or increases. The variation of m σ(vac) (and g 2 ) shown in Table I only slightly affects the critical temperature as well as the thermal evolution of the meson masses.…”

“…Masses and widths can be extracted which encode information on the medium modification of mesons by the underlying quark-antiquark substructure. Therefore, the nl-PNJL, and quark (and gluon) models in general, are in an interesting position to properly account for the degrees of freedom in both, the hadron and the QGP phases, with the underlying physical mechanism for the vanishing of hadronic states from the spectrum in the QGP phase being their dissolution in the continuum of scattering states (the Mott effect) [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62].…”

“…We remark that in this simplified model, the back reaction on the electric-blind fields hasn't been taken into account. The coupling of the quark sector to the Polyakov loop is not enclosed and therefore it is not able to yield the (de)confinement effect [68,69]. Furthermore, a first principle calculation can be pursued by Dyson-Schwinger equations and/or functional renormalization group approaches.…”
