Multiquark interactions and heavy hybrid stars

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce a two flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with 8-quark interactions in the scalar and the vector channel. With the lower density region described by the density-dependent relativistic mean field model we construct a hybrid equation of state. We especially focus on the 4-quark vector couplings and the 8-quark vector NJL couplings and allocate a region in this parameter subspace where hybrid stars with masses larger than 2M⊙2M_\odot exist.
