Matter formed at the BNL relativistic heavy ion collider

Abstract
We suggest that the "new form of matter" found just above Tc by RHIC is made up of tightly bound quark-antiquark pairs, essentially 32 chirally restored (more precisely, nearly massless) mesons of the quantum numbers of π, σ, ρ and a1. Taking the results of lattice gauge simulations (LGS) for the color Coulomb potential from the work of the Bielefeld group and feeding this into a relativistic two-body code, after modifying the heavy-quark lattice results so as to include the velocity-velocity interaction, all ground-state eigenvalues of the 32 mesons go to zero at Tc just as they do from below Tc as predicted by the vector manifestation (VM in short) of hidden local symmetry. This could explain the rapid rise in entropy up to Tc found in LGS calculations. We argue that how the dynamics work can be understood from the behavior of the hard and soft glue.
