T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 3 Pedro Bormio XLIX Motivation The main motivation is to contribute to understand the QCD crossover and the melting of the light hadron spectrum, for finite T, to be studied at LHC, RHIC and FAIR. But how to address the hadron spectrum, confinement and chiral symmetry?? - SU(3) lattice QCD, has difficulties with high excited spectra and finite ... - most models of QCD with chiral symmetry, say the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model or the sigma models, have no explicit confinement, so this is a good job for the modern quark model that includes not only confinement but also chiral symmetry breaking and quark mass generation, notice we address here light quarks, not as easy as heavy quarks where, mb, mc >>  QCD, and mc >> Tc but mu, md, ms ~  QCD ~Tc ~ sqrt(  need the finite T propagator, the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, the relativisty of quarks and he hadronic coupled channels.

T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 25 Pedro Bormio XLIX At vanishing m 0 we get a chiral symmetry phase transition, and at finite m 0 we have a crossover, that gets weaker and weaker when m 0 increases: The quark mass equation and the chiral crossover m 0 = m u m 0 = m d m 0 = 0 This is the opposite behaviour of the confinement crossover with m 0 and thus the chiral and confinement critical points should NOT, in principle, be coincident the chiral crossover

T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 26 Pedro Bormio XLIX We now compute the hadron spectrum, in particular the meson spectra. Notice that with T=/=0, the masses and wavefunctions do essentially scale with  (T), and thus also essentially vanish at T=Tc.

T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 27 Pedro Bormio XLIX The static-light is also interesting since, when dynamical quarks are included, the static quark-antiquark potential saturates when it reaches the energy for the creation of a quark-antiquark that produces a pair of static-light mesons. The lightest static-light meson has a mass M Sl larger than m 0. We also include hybrid, or flux tube excitations in the chiral confining quark model, and we get the Salpeter equation for the light quark with a static antiquark, Phys Lett B 127, 106 (1983), The exact qq potential in Nambu string theory, J.

T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 28 Pedro Bormio XLIX At Tc the string tension  (T) vanishes, the confining potential disappears, and thus all light hadrons decrease their mass until they melt at T=Tc.

T=/=0 quark spectrum and crossover 29 Pedro Bormio XLIX Conclusion & Outlook on light q with  symmetry and confinement We remark that the pure gauge string tension  (T) is well fitted by the condensed matter physics magnetization curve , and utilize it. We compute the dynamically generated quark mass m(p), solving the mass gap equation both for finite current quark masses m 0 and for finite T. The finite current quark masses turn both the confinement and the chiral symmetry phase transitions into two different crossovers. We study the full spectra of light hadrons at finite T a, including the excited spectra, and conclude that 1) the light hadron masses essentially vanish at T=Tc, 2) the light hadrons all melt at T=Tc, 3) the masses and wavefunctions essentially scale with  (T).
