Scientific paper

Neutron star matter with densities exceeding that of the normal nuclear matter (about 0.17/f cu m) is discussed in the light of the recent developments in the understanding of the structure of the nucleon in terms of its basic constituents: quarks and gluons. Two different scenarios of phase transition - pion condensation followed by quark matter or percolation followed by quark plasma - are possible depending upon different confinement sizes: the 'little bag' or the 'big bag' (MIT bag). Consequences for neutron star properties are briefly discussed.
