Effective Theory of the Color-Flavor-Locked Phase

Abstract

We explain how an effective theory of the CFL phase can be used to study the effect of the strange quark mass on the ground state and the excitation spectrum. We also apply the effective theory to the problem of neutrino emission from a CFL quark core inside a neutron star.
