Abstract

Description

We construct the nature of the matter found in RHIC when its temperature has dropped down close to, and below, $T_c$. Just above $T_c$ it is composed of extremely strongly bound quark-antiquark pairs forming chirally restored mesons of the quantum numbers of the $π, S, ρ$ and $a_1$ with very small size and zero energy and just below $T_c$, it is composed of mesons of the same quantum numbers with zero mass. We invoke infrared slavery for the former and the vector manifestation (VM) of hidden local symmetry for the latter. As the temperature drops below $T_c$, the strongly bound quark-antiquark pairs are ejected into what is basically a region of "hadronic freedom" in which the interactions are zero. Experimental evidences for this are seen in the STAR data.
