Hadron-quark transition and chiral symmetry restoration at high density

Abstract

A simple phenomenological hybrid hadron-quark model with effective volume effects of baryons and chiral dynamics is investigated. The hybrid EoS naturally connects the low density baryonic matter with the high density quark matter. In the intermediate region, the phase which can not be regarded as pure hadron matter or pure quark matter appears. In this model, there is a possibility that the abrupt first -order like transition to pure quark matter induces the strong chiral symmetry restoration and the speed of sound has a large peak at considerable large density.
