Quark Condensates in Nuclear Matter in the Global Color Symmetry Model of QCD
With the global color symmetry model being extended to finite chemical
potential, we study the density dependence of the local and nonlocal scalar
quark condensates in nuclear matter. The calculated results indicate that the
quark condensates increase smoothly with the increasing of nuclear matter
density before the critical value (about 12) is reached. It also
manifests that the chiral symmetry is restored suddenly as the density of
nuclear matter reaches its critical value. Meanwhile, the nonlocal quark
condensate in nuclear matter changes nonmonotonously against the space-time
distance among the quarks.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
Reevaluation of the density dependence of nucleon radius and mass in the global color symmetry model of QCD
With the global color symmetry model (GCM) at finite chemical potential, the
density dependence of the bag constant, the total energy and the radius of a
nucleon in nuclear matter is investigated. A relation between the nuclear
matter density and the chemical potential with the action of QCD being taken
into account is obtained. A maximal nuclear matter density for the existence of
the bag with three quarks confined within is given. The calculated results
indicate that, before the maximal density is reached, the bag constant and the
total energy of a nucleon decrease, and the radius of a nucleon increases
slowly, with the increasing of the nuclear matter density. As the maximal
nuclear matter density is reached, the mass of the nucleon vanishes and the
radius becomes infinite suddenly. It manifests that a phase transition from
nucleons to quarks takes place.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure
