چکیده
An exact numerical calculation of neutrino emissivity of two and three flavour quark matter have been carried out. We find that the neutrino emissivity obtained from the Iwamoto formula is in qualitative agreement with our calculation for two flavour quark matter. For three flavour case, on the other hand we find that the Iwamoto formula overestimates the numerical values by ∼2 orders of magnitude or more for d decay and agrees with the s decay results within a factor of 3-4. The dependence of the emissivity on temperature, strong coupling constant and baryon density is also quite different from the Iwamoto

Neutrino Emissivity of Dense Stars
The neutrino emissivity of compact stars is investigated in this work. We consider stars consisting of nuclear as well as quark matter for this purpose. Different models are used to calculate the composition of nuclear and quark matter and the neutrino emissivity. Depending on the model under consideration, the neutrino emissivity of nuclear as well as quark matter varies over a wide range. We ...
متن کاملOn the Limitations of Neutrino Emissivity Formula of Iwamoto
The neutrino emissivity from two and three flavour quark matter is numerically calculated and compared with Iwamoto’s formula. We find that the calculated emissivity is smaller than Iwamoto’s result by orders of magnitude when pf (u)+pf (e)−pf (d(s)) is comparable with the temperature. We attribute it to the severe restriction imposed by momentum conservation on the phase space integral. We obt...
متن کاملNeutrino Emission in Inhomogeneous Pion Condensed Quark Matter
It is believed that quark matter can exist in neutron star interior if the baryon density is high enough. When there is a large isospin density, quark matter could be in a pion condensed phase. We compute neutrino emission from direct Urca processes in such a phase, particularly in the inhomogeneous Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) states. The neutrino emissivity and specific heat are ob...
متن کاملNeutrino emissivity and bulk viscosity of iso-CSL quark matter in neutron stars
We present results for neutrino emissivities and bulk viscosities of a two-flavor color superconducting quark matter phase with isotropic color-spin-locked (iso-CSL) single-flavor pairing which fulfill the constraints on quark matter derived from cooling and rotational evolution of compact stars. We compare with results for the phenomenologically successful, but yet heuristic 2SC+X phase.
متن کاملSome issues about neutrino processes in color superconducting quark matter
Several relevant issues in computing neutrino emissivity in Urca processes in color superconducting quark matter are addressed. These include: (1) The constraint on u quark abundance is given from electric neutrality and the triangle relation among Fermi momenta for participants. (2) The phase space defined by Fermi momentum reduction of quarks is discussed in QCD and NJL model. (3) Fermi effec...
