The equilibrium between the so-called 2SC and CFL phases of strange quark matter at high densities is investigated in the framework of a simple schematic model of the NJL type. Equal densities are assumed for quarks $u,d$ and $s$. The 2SC phase is here described by a color-flavor symmetric state, in which the quark numbers are independent of the color-flavor combination. In the CFL phase the quark numbers depend on the color-flavor combination, that is, the number of quarks associated with the color-flavor combinations $ur,dg,sb$ is different from the number of quarks associated with the color flavor combinations $ug,ub,dr,db,sr,sg$. We find that the 2SC phase is stable for a chemical potential $mu$ below $mu_c=0.505$ GeV, while the CFL phase is stable above, the equilibrium pressure being $P_c=0.003$ GeV$^4$. We have used a 3-momentum regularizing cutoff $Lambda=0.8$ GeV, which is somewhat larger than is usual in NJL type models. This should be adequate if the relevant chemical potential does not exceed 0.6 GeV.

We introduce a new framework for quantifying correlated uncertainties of the infinite-matter equation of state derived from chiral effective field theory ($chi$EFT). Bayesian machine learning via Gaussian processes with physics-based hyperparameters allows us to efficiently quantify and propagate theoretical uncertainties of the equation of state, such as $chi$EFT truncation errors, to derived quantities. We apply this framework to state-of-the-art many-body perturbation theory calculations with nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions up to fourth order in the $chi$EFT expansion. This produces the first statistically robust uncertainty estimates for key quantities of neutron stars. We give results up to twice nuclear saturation density for the energy per particle, pressure, and speed of sound of neutron matter, as well as for the nuclear symmetry energy and its derivative. At nuclear saturation density the predicted symmetry energy and its slope are consistent with experimental constraints.
We report on the application of a cascade + viscous hydro + cascade model for heavy ion collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan range, $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=6.3dots200$ GeV. By constraining model parameters to reproduce the data we find that the effective (average) value of the shear viscosity over entropy density ratio $eta/s$ decreases from 0.2 to 0.08 when collision energy grows from $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}approx7$ to 39 GeV.

Nuclear symmetry energy $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)$ at density $rho$ is normally expanded or simply parameterized as a function of $chi=(rho-rho_0)/3rho_0$ in the form of $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)approx S+Lchi+2^{-1}K_{rm{sym}}chi^2+6^{-1}J_{rm{sym}}chi^3+cdots$ usin g its magnitude $S$, slope $L $, curvature $K_{rm{sym}}$ and skewness $J_{rm{sym}}$ at the saturation density $rho_0$ of nuclear matter. Much progress has been made in recent years in constraining especially the $S$ and $L$ parameters using various terrestrial experiments and astrophysical observations. However, such kind of expansions/parameterizations do not converge at supra-saturation densities where $chi$ is not small enough, hindering an accurate determination of high-density $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)$ even if its characteristic parameters at $rho_0$ are all well determined by experiments/observations. By expanding the $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)$ in terms of a properly chosen auxiliary function $Pi_{rm{sym}}(chi,Theta_{rm{sym}})$ with a parameter $Theta_{rm{sym}}$ fixed accurately by an experimental $E_{rm{sym}}(rho_{rm{r}})$ value at a reference density $rho_{rm{r}}$, we show that the shortcomings of the $chi$-expansion can be completely removed or significantly reduced in determining the high-density behavior of $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)$. In particular, using two significantly different auxiliary functions, we show that the new approach effectively incorporates higher $chi$-order contributions and converges to the same $E_{rm{sym}}(rho)$ much faster than the conventional $chi$-expansion at densities $lesssim3rho_0$. Several quantitative demonstrations using Monte Carlo simulations are given.
The total binding energy of compact stars is the sum of the gravitational binding energy $(BE)_g$ and the nuclear binding energy $(BE)_n$, the last being related to the microphysics of the interactions. While the first is positive (binding) both for hadronic stars and for strange quark stars, the second is large and negative for hadronic stars (anti-binding) and either small and negative (anti-binding) or positive (binding) for strange quark stars. A hadronic star can convert into a strange quark star with a larger radius because the consequent reduction of $(BE)_g$ is over-compensated by the large increase in $(BE)_n$. Thus, the total binding energy increases due to the conversion and the process is exothermic. Depending on the equations of state of hadronic matter and quark matter and on the baryonic mass of the star, the contrary is obviously also possible, namely the conversion of hadronic stars into strange quark stars having smaller radii, a situation more often discussed in the literature. We provide a condition that is sufficient and in most of the phenomenologically relevant cases also necessary in order to form strange quark stars with larger radii while satisfying the exothermicity request. Finally, we compare the two schemes in which quark stars are produced (one having large quark stars and the other having small quark stars) among themselves and with the third-family scenario and we discuss how present and future data can discriminate among them.
