ABSTRACT

Canuto et al. 1979

Canuto, V., B. Datta, and G. Kalman, 1979: Astrophysical determination of the scale parameter in QCD. Phys. Lett. B, 85, 467-470, doi:10.1016/0370-2693(79)91297-8.

We consider the phase transition to quark matter in a system of high density matter, taking into account the spin-2 interaction among nucleons. We find that the transition is possible only if the spin-2 coupling constant is ten times smaller than its value at low energies. From this we are able to determine the scale parameter of QCD.
