What is the difference between plasma and quark gluon plasma?

Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter. The three other states are solid, liquid, and gas. read more

A quark–gluon plasma (QGP) or quark soup is a state of matter in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which is hypothesized to exist at extremely high temperature, density, or both temperature and density. read more

Quark–gluon plasma is a state of matter in which the elementary particles that make up the hadrons of baryonic matter are freed of their strong attraction for one another under extremely high energy densities. These particles are the quarks and gluons that compose baryonic matter. read more

A2A: A quark–gluon plasma is an extremely high-density state of matter, where color-charged particles are squeezed closer together than the QCD confinement length. read more

Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is formed when gases are heated to extreme temperatures where they loose electrons and form ions. On the other hand quark gluon plasma is not a state of matter. Infact in quark gluon plasma quarks and gluons are supposed to be found as individual particles and not in pairs. read more
