Quark-Gluon Plasma Freeze-Out from a Supercooled State?
T. Csorgo🇭🇺 · L. P. Csernai🇳🇴
Abstract
The quark-gluon plasma, formed in the first 3 fm/c of the heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, supercooles due to nucleation and develops soon a negative pressure in the bag model. The negative pressure yields mechanical instability which may lead to a sudden timelike deflagration to a (super)heated hadron gas. The resulting freeze-out times are shorter than those of the standard nucleation scenario.
