Instability of Bubbles Near the Hadron--Quark-Gluon-Plasma Phase Transition

The small surface tension of the interface between hadronic and quark-gluon-plasma domains, along with a negative curvature tension, implies that the uniform plasma is unstable against spontaneous formation of hadronic bubbles. We furthermore show that spherical bubbles are not stable against small perturbations.

Bubble-Bubble Interaction in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

We calculate the two-body interaction of spherical hadronic bubbles immersed in a gluon plasma at temperatures above the phase transition. Modeling the bubbles with the MIT bag we find that the two body potential is repulsive for all bubble-bubble distances considered. This implies that a static configuration of spherical hadronic bubbles in a gluon background is consistent with the bag model of QCD.
