alpha2cen Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We know proton is made of quarks. When we come up the temperature continuously the proton is divided into quarks. How high is the temperature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 How high is the temperature? depends on how hot it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 There is no temperature at which a proton will be divided into quarks. Their binding increases with separation, so adding enough energy merely creates quark/antiquark pairs, as mesons, rather than freeing quarks from the nucleus.

alpha2cen Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 But there is a temperature at which quarks and gluons are freely moving in the constrained area. I mean that temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
