EFFECT OF MUONS ON THE PHASE TRANSITION IN MAGNETIZED PROTO-NEUTRON STAR MATTER

We study the effect of the inclusion of muons and the muon neutrinos on the phase transition from nuclear to quark matter in a magnetized proto-neutron star and compare our results with those obtained by us without the muons. We find that the inclusion of muons changes slightly the nuclear density at which transition occurs. However the dependence of this transition density on various chemical potentials, temperature and the magnetic field remains quantitatively the same.
