The phase structure of strongly interacting matter

With increasing temperature and density, strongly interacting matter will undergo two transitions: deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration. While at low baryon density the two coincide, at high baryon density chiral symmetry can remain broken in a deconfined state. This leads to a phase diagram of three basic states: hadronic matter, a plasma of massive colored quarks, and a quark-gluon plasma.
