Description

A model of nuclear matter is given in which nonrelativistic quarks, carrying color, moving in one dimension, interact through a contact interaction. Solutions for the ground-state energy as a function of density may be found exactly using a method based on the Bethe ansatz, which is explained in detail. The model system shows characteristic behavior of a Fermi gas of nucleons (bound clusters of quarks) at low density, and of a Fermi gas of free quarks at high density, with a smooth transition between these limits
