Pseudoscalar mesons from a PNJL model at zero temperature

Abstract We study pseudoscalar $$\pi $$ π , K and $$\eta $$ η meson properties, such as masses and couplings, in dense matter at zero temperature. We use a recently proposed phenomenological quark model, known as the PNJL0, which takes into account the confinement/deconfinement phase transition by m...

description Abstract We study pseudoscalar $$\pi $$ π , K and $$\eta $$ η meson properties, such as masses and couplings, in dense matter at zero temperature. We use a recently proposed phenomenological quark model, known as the PNJL0, which takes into account the confinement/deconfinement phase transition by means of the traced Polyakov loop ( $$\varPhi $$ Φ ) which serves as an order parameter at zero temperature. We consider two different scenarios, namely, symmetric quark matter with equal chemical potentials for all the flavors, and the beta equilibrated matter. In the latter case the hadron-quark phase transition is implemented by a two model approach. For the hadron side we use a relativistic mean-field model with density dependent couplings. We show that $$\varPhi $$ Φ induces abrupt changes in the mesons properties with gap sizes regulated by the phenomenological gluonic sector of the model.
