Predicted to exist in the cores of dense neutron stars as well as during the first 1 to 10 microseconds of the universe's existence, FTP identify this state of matter in which hadrons decompose into their constituent components, which is abbreviated QGP.
Recent evidence for a strongly coupled version of it includes anomalous J/psi suppression in lead-lead collisions at CERN and jet-quenching and monojet production in collisions between gold atoms and bulk collective elliptical flow at Brookhaven National Laboratory's heavy ion collider. The standard model predicts its existence through lattice calculations showing a rapid rise in entropy at around 160 mega-electron volts, after which the number of degrees of freedom saturate.
