Kaon condensation in high-density quark matter.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 continuously connected.

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 µ e ∼ √ mm s ∆/p F and the critical strange quark mass as m s ∼ m 1/3 ∆ 2/3 , where m is the light ...

متن کاملNeutron Star Vortex Dynamics and Magnetic Field Decay: Implications for High Density Nuclear Matter
We investigate the effect of the density-dependent proton and neutron gaps on vortex dynamics in neutron stars. We argue that the persistence of neutron star magnetic fields on timescales of 10 y suggests a superconducting gap curve with local maximum at intermediate density. We discuss the implications for exotic core phenomena such as pion/kaon condensation or a transition to quark matter. ∗h...

We investigate the influence of charged kaon condensation in hadronic sector on the formation of the electron-free charge neutral quark matter of equipartition of three light flavors, i.e., a phenomenon called " enforced electrical neutrality " of the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase. We employ the chiral quark model which is assumed to be applicable, " bottom-up, " toward chiral restoration whi...

The equation of state and the properties of neutron stars are studied for a phase transition to a charged kaon condensate. We study the mixed phase by using Gibbs condition with comparison to the hitherto applied Maxwell construction. Implications for kaon condensation and for the mass-radius relation of condensed neutron stars are examined. The high density behavior of the equation of state of...
