Hybrids as a Signature of Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract

We show that the dynamics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma is such that during hadronization the creation of hybrids will predominate over the creation of mesons, giving a novel signature of the existence of QGP. At T = 0 the (qqg) hybrids are known to decay strongly into a pair of mesons. We find that at temperatures relevant to the QGP, this channel is forbidden. This would lead to significant modifications of the photonic signals of the QGP.
