Holographic Multiquarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma : A Review

Abstract EN

We review the holographic multiquark states in the deconfined quark-gluon plasma.

Nuclear matter can become deconfined by extremely high temperature and/or density.

In the deconfined nuclear medium, bound states with colour degrees of freedom are allowed to exist.

Using holographic approach, the binding energy and the screening length of the multiquarks can be calculated.

Using the deconfined Sakai-Sugimoto model, the phase diagram of the multiquark phase, the vacuum phase, and the chiral-symmetric quark-gluon plasma can be obtained.

Then we review the magnetic properties of the multiquarks and their phase diagrams.

The multiquark phase is compared with the pure pion gradient, the magnetized vacuum, and the chiral-symmetric quark-gluon plasma phases.

For moderate temperature and sufficiently large density at a fixed magnetic field, the mixed phase of multiquark and pion gradient is the most energetically preferred phase.
