quagma, n. Particle Physics.|ˈkwægmə|
[f. quark n.2 + gluon n. + plasma n.: cf. magma n.]
A hypothetical state of matter consisting of free quarks and gluons; a body of matter in this state.
1985Greiner & Stöcker in Sci. Amer. Jan. 66/1 The matter in such a nucleus consists of quarks and the particles that bind them together, the gluons; it is a quark-gluon plasma, or quagma. 1986Physics Lett. B. CLXVI. 45 We show that if the density of grand unified monopoles at T≃200 MeV is of the order of or greater than 4.4 x 1021cm-3 they annihilate all of the strange matter produced in the quagma–hadron phase transition which the universe undergoes at this temperature. 1988New Scientist 3 Mar. 45/1 Theory suggests that when the density of energy in nuclear matter is high enough, the quarks and gluons will no longer remain confined but will form a quagma. |
