Quarkyonic percolation in dense nuclear matter    [PDF]

Stefano Lottini, Giorgio Torrieri

We examine the phase diagram of hadronic matter when the number of colours $N_c$, as well as temperature and density, are varied. We show that in this regime a new percolation phase transition is possible, and examine the implications of this transition for extrapolations to physical QCD of the large-N_c limit.
