QCD phase diagram
E1461902
UNEXPLORED
The QCD phase diagram is a theoretical map showing how strongly interacting matter (quarks and gluons) changes its phases—such as hadronic matter and quark–gluon plasma—under varying temperature and baryon density.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T21002852 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
quantum chromodynamics
Quantum chromodynamics is the quantum field theory that describes the strong nuclear force binding quarks and gluons inside hadrons such as protons and neutrons.
-
B.
Polyakov–Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
The Polyakov–Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model is an effective quantum field theory that extends the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model by coupling quarks to the Polyakov loop to study chiral symmetry breaking and confinement in QCD-like systems.
-
C.
Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model is a theoretical framework in quantum field theory that illustrates spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and mass generation for fermions, analogous to mechanisms in superconductivity.
-
D.
quark model
The quark model is a fundamental framework in particle physics that explains hadrons as composite particles made of quarks bound together by the strong force.
-
E.
heavy quark effective theory
Heavy quark effective theory is a framework in particle physics that simplifies the study of hadrons containing a single heavy quark by exploiting symmetries that emerge in the limit of very large quark mass.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
