Size-effect at finite temperature in a quark-antiquark effective model in phase space

Abstract

A quark-antiquark effective model is studied in a toroidal topology at finite temperature. The model is described by a Schrödinger equation with linear potential which is embedded in a torus. The following aspects are analysed: (i) the nonclassicality structure using the Wigner function formalism; (ii) finite temperature and size-effects are studied by a generalization of Thermofield Dynamics written in phase space; (iii) in order to include the spin of the quark, Pauli-like Schrödinger equation is used; (iv) analysis of the size-effect is considered to observe the fluctuation in the ground state. The size effect goes to zero at zero, finite and high temperatures. The results emphasize that the spin is a central aspect for this quark-antiquark effective model.
