It is assumed that at zero baryonic density, \\rho=0, the temperature phase transition is of the second order. Due to a specific power dependence of baryon masses on the chiral condensate the phase transition becomes of the first order at the temperature T=T_{ph}(\\rho) for \\rho>0. At temperatures T_{cont}(\\rho) > T > T_{ph}(\\rho) there is a mixed phase consisting of the quark phase (stable) and the hadron phase (unstable). At the temperature T = T_{cont}(\\rho) the system experiences a continuous transition to the pure chirally symmetric phase.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-05-05T17:05:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.75.Nq", "11.30.Rd", "12.38.Mh" ], "keywords": [ "chiral phase transition", "hadronic matter", "pure chirally symmetric phase", "non-zero baryon density", "zero baryonic density" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 649702 } } }
