Quasi-particle Specific Heats for the Crystalline Color Superconducting Phase of QCD
arXiv:hep-ph/0307335 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2003.09.071
Abstract
We calculate the specific heats of quasi-particles of two-flavor QCD in its crystalline phases for low temperature. We show that for the different crystalline structures considered here there are gapless modes contributing linearly in temperature to the specific heat. We evaluate also the phonon contributions which are cubic in temperature. These features might be relevant for compact stars with an inner shell in a color superconducting crystalline phase.
