Schmid C, Schwarz D, Widerin P. Deviations from the Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum due to the Quark-Gluon to Hadron Transition. HELVETICA PHYSICA ACTA. 1996;69(3):198-201.We investigate the effect of the quark-gluon to hadron transition on the evolution of cosmological perturbations. If the phase transitions is first order, the sound speed vanishes during the transition, and density perturbations fall freely. The primordial Harrison-Zel'dovich density fluctuations for scales below the Hubble radius at the transition develop peaks, which grow linearly with the wavenumber, both for the hadron-photon-lepton fluid and for cold dark matter. The large peaks in the spectrum produce cold dark matter clumps of 10(-8) to 10(-11) M.
