Description
Recent observations of neutron stars, together with lattice simulations of QCD-like theories at finite density, have renewed interest in the structure of hadrons in the context of high-density equations of state. In this review, I discuss how the stiffening of dense matter can be triggered by the onset of quark matter formation, or “quark saturation” effects. The onset of this stiffening is sensitive to the size of baryons and its medium modifications.
