Transport Coefficients in Color Superconducting Quark Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Transport coefficients of dense quark matter are needed to study properties of compact stars. They can tell us about the cooling, vibrational and rotational properties of the star. We report below a computation of the shear viscosity in the CFL phase at low temperature T . CFL quark matter behaves as a superfluid, and at low T its transport properties are dominated by the collisions of superfluid phonons.

Compact stars with color superconducting quark matter
We study compact stars that contain quark matter. We look at the effect of color superconductivity in the quark matter on the nuclear-quark matter transition density, mass-radius relationship, and the density discontinuity at the boundary between nuclear and quark matter. We find that color superconducting quark matter will occur in compact stars at values of the bag constant where ordinary qua...
متن کاملThe rigidity of crystalline color superconducting quark matter
We calculate the shear modulus of crystalline color superconducting quark matter, showing that this phase of dense, but not asymptotically dense, three-flavor quark matter responds to shear stress like a very rigid solid. To evaluate the shear modulus, we derive the low energy effective Lagrangian that describes the phonons that originate from the spontaneous breaking of translation invariance ...
متن کاملCooling of Neutron Stars with Color Superconducting Quark Cores
We show that within a recently developed nonlocal chiral quark model the critical density for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough for these phases to occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.3 M⊙. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and argue that, i...
متن کاملGinzburg-Landau equations for superconducting quark matter in neutron stars
We investigate magnetic properties of color superconducting quark matter within a Ginzburg-Landau approach. The simultaneous coupling of the quark fields to gluonic and electromagnetic gauge fields leads to rotated electromagnetism with a massive (Higgsed) and a massless photon-gluon field. We derive the Ginzburg-Landau equations for superconducting quark matter taking into account the rotated ...
متن کاملPhase diagram of neutral quark matter: Self-consistent treatment of quark masses
Theoretical studies suggest that quark matter at suffi ciently high densities and suffi ciently low temperatures may be a color superconductor. (For a review on color superconductivity see for example, Ref. [1].) In nature such conditions appear in the central regions of neutron stars. Therefore it is possible that matter is color superconducting in the cores of these objects. In compact stars ...
