Stability and structure of quark matter in a molecular dynamics framework

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study stability and structure of quark matters as a function of density in a framework of molecular dynamics (MD). Using appropriate effective interactions and the frictional cooling method, we search for the minimum energy of the system. Transition from confined to deconfined phase is observed at densities of 2 -- 3ρ0ρ_0, where ρ0ρ_0 is the nuclear matter saturation density. The udsuds matter becomes more stable than the charge-neutral udud matter at 3ρ0ρ_0, but the uddudd matter is the most stable even at high density.
