Quark-meson-diquark model for two-color QCD — •Nils Strodthoff1, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer2,3, and Lorenz von Smekal1 — 1Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Germany — 2Institut für Physik, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Austria — 3Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Gießen, Germany
We introduce a two-flavor quark-meson-diquark model for two-color QCD and its extensions to include gauge-field dynamics as described by the Polakov loop. Grand potential and phase structure are being studied both in mean-field approximation and with the functional renormalization group. The model provides an explicit example for the importance of baryonic degrees of freedom: When they are omitted, the phase diagram closely resembles that of the corresponding (Polyakov)-quark-meson models for QCD, in particular including their critical endpoint. In order to reproduce the well established main features based on the symmetries and breaking patterns of two-color QCD, however, they must be included and there is no critical endpoint.
