Nambu–Jona-Lasinio Equation of State Module (MUSES NJL)

2026

C++ · Python

Open-source equation-of-state module for dense, color-superconducting quark matter in the MUSES framework: RG-consistent three-flavor NJL in Hartree mean-field, with scalar and vector condensates, diquark pairing and the KM't Hooft interaction. Main contributor to the model development, implementation and open-source release; central to my PhD thesis computations.
