Speed of Sound in Dense Matter
We compute asymptotic thermodynamics in cold and dense quantum chromodynamics (QCD) matter occurring in neutron stars by employing a dynamical quark potential that implements asymptotic freedom, thereby reconciling the speed of sound and quark number susceptibility (QNS) with conformal invariance in the high-density limit, which the widely used equations of state in the COMPOSE database do not address.
