Gapless formation in the K condensed color-flavor locked quark matter : a model-independent treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
The electric/color neutral solution and the critical conditions for gapless formation are investigated in the K condensed color-flavor locked matter. We point out that there exist no longer gapless modes for down-strange quark pairing while the gapless phenomenon for up-strange one is dominated in the K condensed environment. In a model-independent way, the phase transition to the resulting gapless phase is found to be of first-order. The novel phase structure implies that the chromomagnetic instability happens in the previous-predicted gapless phase might be removed at least partly.

Formation of Gapless Phases of K Condensed Color-Flavor Locked Superconducting Quark Matter
Electric and color neutral solutions, and the critical conditions for the formation of gapless color superconductors, are investigated in K condensed color-flavor locked quark matter for nonzero strange quark mass. We show that as the strange quark mass increases, gapless modes for up-strange quark pairing occur first, followed by downstrange quark pairing. The behavior of the gaps, the dispers...

In the presence of nonzero strange quark massms, we investigate color neutrality in the K0 condensed phase of color-flavor locked quark matter. By treating the ms effects on both kaon condensate and Fermi-surface phenomenon selfconsistently, we develop a new treatment to evaluate color neutral solutions within the model-independent framework. It is pointed out that, in the general sense, the ex...
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 کاملEvaluating the Gapless Color - Flavor Locked Phase
In neutral cold quark matter that is sufficiently dense that the strange quark mass Ms is unimportant, all nine quarks (three colors; three flavors) pair in a color-flavor locked (CFL) pattern, and all fermionic quasiparticles have a gap. We recently argued that the next phase down in density (as a function of decreasing quark chemical potential μ or increasing strange quark mass Ms) is the new...
