Masses of multiquark droplets

Masses of multiquark droplets The mass formulas for finite lumps of strange quark matter with u , d , and s quarks and nonstrange quark matter consisting of u and d quarks are derived in a nonrelativistic potential model. The finite-size effects comprising the surface and curvature were consistently obtained, which shows a converging trend. It is found that there is a good possibility for the formation of metastable strangelets of large mass. The model predicts a low charge to mass ratio as the characteristic signature of strange matter in agreement with the relativistic studies. This study also yields an estimate for the bag energy density B in terms of the constituent quark mass and the baryon number density. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review D American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

The mass formulas for finite lumps of strange quark matter with u , d , and s quarks and nonstrange quark matter consisting of u and d quarks are derived in a nonrelativistic potential model. The finite-size effects comprising the surface and curvature were consistently obtained, which shows a converging trend. It is found that there is a good possibility for the formation of metastable strangelets of large mass. The model predicts a low charge to mass ratio as the characteristic signature of strange matter in agreement with the relativistic studies. This study also yields an estimate for the bag energy density B in terms of the constituent quark mass and the baryon number density.
