Quantum Chromodynamics and Statistical Physics
by Stephane Munier
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 58
Description:
In these lectures, we first introduce the basic concepts in the context of simple toy models, we study the properties of the latter, and show how the results obtained for the simple models may be taken over to quantum chromodynamics.

The Condensed Matter Physics of QCDby Krishna Rajagopal, Frank Wilczek - arXiv
Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently. We discuss the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and density, and close with a look at possible astrophysical signatures.
