Pionic BEC--BCS crossover at finite isospin chemical potential

arXiv:0909.5615 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.016005

Abstract

We study the character change of the pionic condensation at finite isospin chemical potential μ_\mathrm{I} by adopting the linear sigma model as a non-local interaction between quarks. At low |μ_\mathrm{I}| the condensation is purely bosonic, then the Cooper pairing around the Fermi surface grows gradually as |μ_\mathrm{I}| increases. This q-\bar q pairing is weakly coupled in comparison with the case of the q-q pairing that leads to color superconductivity.
