Magnetic vortex in color-flavor locked quark matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Within Ginzburg-Landau theory, we study the structure of a magnetic vortex in color-flavor locked quark matter. This vortex is characterized by winding of the SU(3) phase in color-flavor space, as well as by the presence of a color-flavor unlocked condensate in the core. We estimate the upper and lower critical fields and the critical Ginzburg-Landau parameter that distinguishes between type I and type II superconductors.

Color Superconducting Phases of Cold Dense Quark Matter
We investigate color superconducting phases of cold quark matter at densities relevant for the interiors of compact stars. At these densities, electrically neutral and weak-equilibrated quark matter can have unequal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. The QCD interaction favors Cooper pairs that are antisymmetric in color and in flavor, and a crystalline color superconducting phase can occ...
متن کاملEffects of density-dependent quark mass on phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter
Considering the density dependence of quark mass, we investigate the phase transition between the ( unpaired ) strange quark matter and the color-flavor-locked matter, which are supposed to be two candidates for the ground state of strongly interacting matter. We find that if the current mass of strange quarkms is small, the strange quark matter remains stable unless the baryon density is very ...
متن کاملDensity dependence of quark masses and stability of color-flavor locked phases
Considering the density dependence of quark masses, we investigate the color-flavorlocked matter and its stability relative to the ( unpaired ) strange quark matter. We find that, when the current mass of strange quark ms is small, the strange quark matter remains stable for the moderate baryon densities. When ms is large, the gapless phase of the color-flavor-locked matter is found to be diffi...
متن کاملColor-flavor locked strangelets and their detection
Strange quark matter in a color-flavor locked state is significantly more bound than “ordinary” strange quark matter. This increases the likelihood of strangelet metastability or even absolute stability. Properties of color-flavor locked strangelets are discussed and compared to ordinary strangelets. Apart from differences in binding energy, the main difference is related to the charge. A stati...
متن کاملImpact of Cfl Quark Matter on the Cooling of Compact Stars
The cooling mechanism of compact stars with quark cores in the color-flavor locked phase is discussed. It is argued that the high thermal conductivity of the quark core plays a key role in the stellar cooling. It implies that the cooling time of compact stars with color-flavor locked quark cores is similar to that of ordinary neutron stars, unless the star is almost completely made of color-fla...
