Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)
Plasma Physics
MeV (Transition Temperature)
A extreme phase of quantum chromodynamic (QCD) matter where hadrons melt into a deconfined state of free quarks and gluons at extreme temperatures.
T_deconfinement ≈ 150–170 MeV (~2 × 10¹² K)
Quasi-neutrality
Plasma Physics
Dimensionless Balance Condition
The property of a plasma where positive ion charge density and negative electron charge density are nearly equal across spatial scales larger than the Debye length.
n_e ≈ ∑ Z_i n_i (For scale lengths L ≫ λ_D)
