New phases in CFL quark matter
Andrei Kryjevski, David B. Kaplan, Thomas Schaefer
We consider order corrections to the squared masses of the pseudo-Goldstone excitations about the ground state of dense quark matter. We show that these contributions tend t…
Instanton contribution to scalar charmonium and glueball decays
Valeriu Zetocha, Thomas Schaefer
We study instanton contributions to hadronic decays of the scalar glueball, the pseudoscalar charmonium state , and the scalar charmonium state . Hadronic decays of the…
Cold dilute neutron matter on the lattice II: Results in the unitary limit
Dean Lee, Thomas Schaefer
This is the second of two papers which investigate cold dilute neutron matter on the lattice using pionless effective field theory. In the unitary limit, where the effective range…
Superdense Matter
Thomas Schaefer
We review recent work on the phase structure of QCD at very high baryon density. We introduce the phenomenon of color superconductivity and discuss the use of weak coupling methods…
From Trapped Atoms to Liberated Quarks
Thomas Schaefer
We discuss some aspects of cold atomic gases in the unitarity limit that are of interest in connection with the physics of dense hadronic matter. We consider, in particular, the eq…
Transport properties of stochastic fluids
Chandrodoy Chattopadhyay, Josh Ott, Thomas Schaefer +1
We study heat conduction and momentum transport in the context of stochastic fluid dynamics. We consider a fluid described by model H in the classification of Hohenberg and Halperi…
