Lady Quark


Lady Quark is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Universe. In the DC Comics 12-issue limited series "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (1985-1986), the character was one of the rulers of Earth-Six, which was ruled by royalty. In 2011 introduction of The New 52 DC Multiverse, she and her husband Lord Volt are now the monarchs of Earth-48, which appears to be a modern analogue of Earth-Six in the original DC multiverse. Lady Quark comes from Earth-6 where the American Revolutionary

The character, which was played by Armin Shimerman, was depicted as a member of an extraterrestrial race known as the Ferengi, who are stereotypically capitalist and motivated only by profit. Quark, who often served as the show's comedy relief, may have been named after the 1970s television series "Quark", which frequently examined science fiction themes from a humorous or satirical perspective.

A quark-nova is the hypothetical violent explosion resulting from the conversion of a neutron star to a quark star. Analogous to a supernova heralding the birth of a neutron star, a quark nova signals the creation of a quark star.

Chronology of the universe


the universe was still too high to allow quarks to bind together to form hadrons. During the quark epoch the universe was filled with a dense, hot quark–gluon plasma, containing quarks, leptons and their antiparticles. Collisions between particles were too energetic to allow quarks to combine into mesons or baryons. The quark epoch ended when the universe was about 10 seconds old, when the average energy of particle interactions had fallen below the binding energy of hadrons. "Perhaps by 10 seconds" Baryons are subatomic particles such as protons

The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state. Because of this, up and down quarks are generally stable and the most common in the universe, whereas strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and in particle accelerators).

Despite the capability of quark models to bring order to the "elementary particle zoo", their status was considered something like mathematical fiction at the time, a simple artifact of deeper physical reasons. Starting in 1969, deep inelastic scattering experiments at SLAC revealed surprising experimental evidence for particles inside of protons. Whether these were quarks or something else was not known at first. Many experiments were needed to fully identify the properties of the subprotonic components.

This gas is called a "quark–gluon plasma" (QGP), since the quark-interaction charge (color charge) is mobile and quarks and gluons move around. This is possible because at a high temperature

The principal physical idea of the model was taken from quantum chromodynamics: the forces between quarks are flavour-independent. This idea gave rise to their "QCD-improved" quark model.

to the similarity between up quarks and down quarks. This is an approximate symmetry: While up and down quarks are identical in how they interact under the strong force, they have different masses and different electroweak interactions. Mathematically, there is an abstract two-dimensional vector space and the laws of physics are "approximately" invariant under applying a determinant-1 unitary transformation to this space: For example, formula_85 would turn all up quarks in the universe into down quarks and vice versa. Some examples help clarify the possible effects of these

Now the approach that emerged from this paper became a standard tool in the studies of the origin of dark matter in the Universe. In 1964, in the paper written together with Pomeranchuk and Kobzarev, the idea of "mirror world" came into existence. "Mirror matter" is still a possible candidate for dark matter.

The quark–gluon plasma produced by these experiments approximates the conditions in the universe that existed microseconds after the Big Bang, before the matter coalesced into atoms. A basic process in QCD is the energy loss of a fast parton in a medium composed of colour charges. This phenomenon, "jet quenching", is especially useful in the study of the QGP, using the naturally occurring products (jets) of the hard scattering of quarks and gluons from the incoming nuclei

masses between 1.5 and 1.8 solar masses are theoretically the best candidates for conversion due to spin down of the star within a Hubble time. This amounts to a small fraction of the projected neutron star population. A conservative estimate based on this, indicates that up to two quark-novae may occur in the observable universe each day. Theoretically, quark stars would be radio-quiet, so radio-quiet neutron stars may be quark stars. Direct evidence for quark-novae is scant; however, recent observations of supernovae SN

This useful property is now known as quark-hadron duality. She has given public talks in various countries on "The Missing Antimatter", in which she suggests that

. Once these electron/positron pairs are directed to the star's poles, they are then ejected at relativistic velocities, which is proposed to be one of the causes of FRBs. Theoretical investigations have revealed that quark stars might not only be produced from neutron stars and powerful supernovae, they could also be created in the early cosmic phase separations following the Big Bang. If these primordial quark stars transform into strange quark matter before the external temperature and pressure conditions of the early universe makes them unstable, they might turn out stable

It is not known exactly when the inflationary epoch ended, but it is thought to have been between 10 and 10 seconds after the Big Bang. The rapid expansion of space meant that elementary particles remaining from the grand unification epoch were now distributed very thinly across the universe.

For readers who are not familiar with the concept of a chemical potential, it is helpful to think of μ as a measure of the imbalance between quarks and antiquarks in the system. Higher μ means a stronger bias favoring quarks over antiquarks. At low temperatures there are no antiquarks, and then higher μ generally means a higher density of quarks. Ordinary atomic
