Color Superconductivity in Two- and Three-flavor Systems at Moderate Densities
نویسنده
چکیده
Basic features of color superconductivity are reviewed, focusing on the regime of “moderate densities”, which is not accessible by perturbation theory. We discuss the standard picture of twoand three flavor color superconductors and study the color-flavor unlocking phase transition within an NJL-type model.

Two flavor color superconductivity and compact stars
At large baryon density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) becomes a weakly interacting theory of quarks and gluons [ 1]. Because of an attractive interaction between quarks, the ground state of such quark matter is a color superconductor [ 2, 3, 4]. At asymptotic densities, quark matter was studied from first principles in Refs. [ 5, 6, 7, 8]. Unfortunately, these studies are not very reliable quan...
متن کاملColor Superconductivity in Asymmetric Matter
The influence of different chemical potential for different flavors on color superconductivity is analyzed. It is found that there is a first order transition as the asymmetry grows. This transition proceeds through the formation of bubbles of low density, flavor asymmetric normal phase inside a high density, superconducting phase with a gap larger than the one found in the symmetric case. For ...
متن کاملColor superconductivity in dense quark matter
Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi surface that induces color Meissner effects. At the highest densities, where the QCD coupling is weak, rigorous calculations are possible, and the ground state is a particularly symmetric state, the color-flavor locked (C...
متن کاملColor Flavor Locked Quark matter properties
Quark matter at its highest densities; is expected to become a color superconductor and transition to a phase called color flavor locking (CFL)[1]. Because of asymptotic freedom, the theory becomes weaker at high densities [1] and some kind of superconductivity can be expected[2]. At the CFL phase it behaves as a superfluid[3]and has Chiral Symmetry breaking[1]. Possible observations or experim...
متن کاملMesons and diquarks in the CFL phase of dense quark matter
The spectrum of meson and diquark excitations of the color–flavor locked (CFL) phase of dense quark matter is considered in the framework of the Nambu – JonaLasinio model. We have found that in this phase all Nambu–Goldstone bosons are realized as scalar and pseudoscalar diquarks. Other diquark excitations are resonances with mass value around 230 MeV. Mesons are stable particles in the CFL pha...
