About the book The book “Mesons and Quarks” includes a wide range of topics in the frontier areas of research in the overlapping field of nuclear and particle physics. It discusses various aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at different regimes of energy and density, focusing on four major topics: · Recent developments in meson physics and modification of hadrons properties in hot and dense matter in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. · Various aspects of the Color Glass Condensates with an introduction to the physics issues being studied in the RHIC heavy ion program. · The formation and structure of dense stellar objects namely neutron and quark stars. · The phenomena of color superconductivity of dense quark matter. | |
