High Density Quark Matter under Stress
We study the effect of SU(3) flavor breaking on high density quark matter. We discuss, in particular, the effect a non-zero electron chemical potential and a finite strange quark mass. We argue that these perturbations trigger pion or kaon condensation. The critical chemical potential behaves as μe ∼ √ mms∆/pF and the critical strange quark mass as ms ∼ m1/3∆2/3, where m is the light quark mass...
متن کاملHigh Density Quark Matter and the
We consider the most general four fermion operators in QCD for two and three massless avors and study their renormalization in the vicinity of the Fermi surface. We show that, asymptotically, the largest coupling corresponds to scalar diquark condensation. Asymptotically the direct and iterated (molecular) instanton interactions become equal. We provide simple arguments for the form of the oper...
متن کاملKaon condensation in high-density quark matter.
We point out that the problem of kaon condensation in dense hadronic matter can be addressed in perturbative QCD. Indeed, perturbative calculations suggest that negative kaons are condensed in high-density quark matter if the presence of electrons is taken into account. This observation sheds new light on the proposal that the low-density hyperon and high-density quark matter phases of QCD are ...
متن کاملColor Superconductivity in High Density Quark Matter
We review recent progress on the phenomena of color superconductivity in high density quark matter. We begin with a brief overview of the unique aspects of physics near a Fermi surface and the implications for renormalization group (RG) techniques. We next discuss the qualitative differences between asymptotic densities, where the effective coupling constant can be made arbitrarily small, and i...
متن کاملMass Terms in Effective Theories of High Density Quark Matter
We study the structure of mass terms in the effective theory for quasi-particles in QCD at high baryon density. To next-to-leading order in the 1/pF expansion we find two types of mass terms, chirality conserving two-fermion operators and chirality violating four-fermion operators. In the effective chiral theory for Goldstone modes in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase the former terms corresp...
