Quark-hadron phase transition in a magnetic field

Understand

Quark-hadron phase transition in QCD in the presence of magnetic field is studied.

• It is shown that both the temperature of a phase transition and latent heat decrease compared to the case of zero magnetic field.
• The phase diagram in the plane temperature--magnetic field is presented.
• Critical point, T_\ast=104 MeV, \sqrt{eH_\ast}=600 MeV, for which the latent heat goes to zero, is found.
