Chiral phase structure of the sixteen meson states in the SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model for finite temperature and chemical potential in a strong magnetic field

In characterizing the chiral phase-structure of pseudoscalar(J^(pc) = 0^(-+)), scalar(J^(pc) = 0^(++)), vector(J^(pc) =1^(--)) and axial-vector(J^(pc) = 1^(++)t) meson states and their dependence on temperature, chemical potential, and magnetic field,we utilize the SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model(PLSM) in the mean-field approximation. We first determine the chiral(non)strange quark condensates,σ_l and σ_s, and the corresponding deconfinement order parameters, φ and φ~*, in thermal and dense(finite chemical potential) medium and finite magnetic field. The temperature and the chemical potential characteristics of nonet meson states normalized to the lowest bosonic Matsubara frequency are analyzed. We note that all normalized meson masses become temperature independent at different critical temperatures. We observe that the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions are shifted to lower quasicritical temperatures with increasing chemical potential and magnetic field. Thus, we conclude that the magnetic field seems to have almost the same effect as the chemical potential, especially on accelerating the phase transition, i.e. inverse magnetic catalysis. We also find that increasing the chemical potential enhances the mass degeneracy of the various meson masses, while increasing the magnetic field seems to reduce the critical chemical potential, at which the chiral phase transition takes place. Our mass spectrum calculations agree well with the recent PDG compilations and PNJL, lattice QCD calculations, and QMD/UrQMD simulations.

On thermodynamic self-consistency of generic axiomatic-nonextensive statistics

Generic axiomatic-nonextensive statistics introduces two asymptotic properties,to each of which a scaling function is assigned.The first and second scaling properties are characterized by the exponents c and d,respectively.In the thermodynamic limit,a grand-canonical ensemble can be formulated.The thermodynamic properties of a relativistic ideal gas of hadron resonances are studied,analytically.It is found that this generic statistics satisfies the requirements of the equilibrium thermodynamics.Essential aspects of the thermodynamic self-consistency are clarified.Analytical expressions are proposed for the statistical fits of various transverse momentum distributions measured in most-central collisions at different collision energies and colliding systems.Estimations for the freezeout temperature（T_（ch）） and the baryon chemical potential（μ_b） and the exponents c and d are determined.The earlier are found compatible with the parameters deduced from Boltzmann-Gibbs（BG） statistics（extensive）,while the latter refer to generic nonextensivities.The resulting equivalence class（c,d） is associated with stretched exponentials,where Lambert function reaches its asymptotic stability.In some measurements,the resulting nonextensive entropy is linearly composed on extensive entropies.Apart from power-scaling,the particle ratios and yields are excellent quantities to highlighting whether the particle production takes place（non）extensively.Various particle ratios and yields measured by the STAR experiment in central collisions at 200,62.4 and 7.7 GeV are fitted with this novel approach.We found that both c and d 〈 1,i.e.referring to neither BG-nor Tsallis-type statistics,but to（c,d）-entropy,where Lambert functions exponentially rise.The freezeout temperature and baryon chemical potential are found comparable with the ones deduced from BG statistics（extensive）.We conclude that the particle production at STAR energies is likely a nonextensive process but not necessarily BG or Tsallis type.
