TY - JOUR A1 - Mukherjee, Ayon A1 - Bhattacharyya, Abhijit A1 - Schramm, Stefan T1 - Effects of a non-zero strangeness-chemical potential in strong interaction models T2 - Physics Letters B N2 - The effect of a non-zero strangeness chemical potential on the strong interaction phase diagram has been studied within the framework of the SU(3) quark-hadron chiral parity-doublet model. Both, the nuclear liquid-gas and the chiral/deconfinement phase transitions are modified. The first-order line in the chiral phase transition is observed to vanish completely, with the entire phase boundary becoming a crossover. These changes in the nature of the phase transitions are expected to modify various susceptibilities, the effects of which might be detectable in particle-number distributions resulting from moderate-temperature and high-density heavy-ion collision experiments.
